I have been trying to install NFS so as to permit file transfer between my desktop and notebook machines, both of which run v11.1, but have not been successful. The content of the relevant files in both machines look to me to be as they should, but no transfer takes place. Results are the same when I make a client on the server machine. The short explanation of why this is is that the Remote Share object in the client machine is unmounted, and it is not possible to mount it, because attempt to do so gets an error message saying "Permissions denied". I do not know what permissions are causing this. I hope someone can see what the barrier is. server IP is:192.168.1.4 poblano client IP is: 192.168.1.5 chipotle In YaST in both machines, I have set the firewall to open ports. In the server machine: /etc/exports is: /home 192.168.1.0/24(rw,root_squash,sync,subtree_check,nohide) # showmount -e Export list for server: /home 192.168.1.0/24 # mount | grep nfs rpc_pipefs on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) nfsd on /proc/fs/nfsd type nfsd (rw) In the client machine: fstab contains: poblano:/home /nfs/poblano/home nfs rw,nosuid,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0 hosts contains: 192.168.1.4 poblano.hashkedim poblano The Konqueror file manager shows in its Disk Information column: Remote Share (poblano"/home nfs Clicking on the link brings up an empty Konqueror screen with "media:/home" in the Location field. Clicking MB2 on the link pops up a menu offering the option "Mount", showing that it is unmounted. Choosing "Open in New Window" shows the error message "Permissions denied". Choosing "Properties" shows in the General tab "Remote Share (poblano:/home), and Type "Unmounted NFS Share". To me, everything looks to be in order, but the share doesn't mount, and I don't know why. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
