nfs exports not mounting :/

**Stuart** · 06-08-2004, 09:36 PM

Ok, heres the deal. Got two machines, Darkstar, and John5.
Here is my /etc/exports on Darkstar:

Code:

/mnt/cdrom      (insecure,no_root_squash,rw)

root@john5:~# mount -t nfs darkstar:/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: darkstar:/mnt/cdrom failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

Ideas?

Did u setup hosts.allow? Is nfsd running? Does the slave comp know who darkstar is? Here is a link to a troubleshooting section. http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto...eshooting.html

I did not setup hosts.allow, and I could swear I had this working a month ago :/

Okay, most of these errors I can live with.

Code:

root@darkstar etc # exportfs -ra
exportfs: No host name given with /mnt/cdrom (insecure,no_root_squash,ro), suggest *(insecure,no_root_squash,ro) to avoid warning
exportfs: /etc/exports [1]: No &#039;sync&#039; or &#039;async&#039; option specified for export &quot;:/mnt/cdrom&quot;.
  Assuming default behaviour (&#039;sync&#039;).
  NOTE: this default has changed from previous versions
john5.home:/mnt/cdrom: Invalid argument

But the last one just confuses the hell out of me. Where is it getting that ???

What is john5.home?

**Stuart** · 06-09-2004, 06:39 PM

from /etc/hosts

Code:

192.168.1.2     john5.home john5

try:

/mnt/cdrom -ro john5 host2 host3

then run portmap, and restart mountd, and nfsd.

Ok, exports are working, rpc is working, however it is taking ages it seems to mount the nfs share, and I am not sure if it's going to mount at all.
