nfs -- can't mount.
hi,
I Am trying to understand how nfs file systems get mounted. I run
woody on a 386, a friend has just moved a box over to my office, and I
want to be able to mount a directory from this box (which runs redhat
7.3, I think) on my own. I made sure the nfs daemon was running on
his box, edited the /etc/exports file to include my ip address and the
appropriate directories, and then tried to mount the file system from
my box. I get the following error:
anarres:/# mount -t nfs 128.100.34.8:/home/matt /racesci/matt
mount: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive
is the problem with my box or the other one? I went through a bit of
trouble, turning the various daemons on and so forth; I think it's
working, but I don't have access to a third box, so I don't know.
any help is appreciated. thanks loads,
m
