I inherited a lab that has a few hundred hosts running FreeBSD 7.2.
These hosts run test scripts that access files that are stored on
FreeBSD 6.3 host.  The 6.3 host exports a /data directory with NFS


On the 7.2 hosts, I can see the exported directory:

$ showmount -e 6.3-host
Exports list on 6.3-host
/data                              Everyone

And access it with amd

$ ls -l /net/6-3.host/data

drwxr-xr-x     5 root  wheel      512 Jun  4  2009 git
drwxr-xr-x  4586 root  wheel    83968 Nov  2 04:50 home

I'm trying to retire the 6.3 host and replace it with 9.3 (I know it's
old, but it's the best I can do for now).

I export the /data directory on the 9.3 system, and I can see it on my
7.2 hosts.

$ showmount -e  9.3-host
Exports list on 9.3-host:
/data                           Everyone

But I can't automount it:

$ ls -l /net/9.3-host/data
ls: /net/9.3-host/data: No such file or directory

If I manually mount the exported directory, it works:

$ sudo mount -t nfs 9.3-host:/data /mnt/data/
$ mount | grep nfs
9.3-host:/data on /mnt/data (nfs)

$ ls -l /mnt/data
total 4
drwxr-xr-x  9 root  wheel  512 Dec 20 17:41 iaf2

I've spent some time on Google, but haven't found a solution. I realize these are very old versions, but I'm not in a position to upgrade them
right now.  My last resort will be to use /etc/fstab to do the NFS
mount, but I'd rather avoid that if I can.

Thanks for any pointers on how to resolve this.

if you changed the export file on the server after you tried to mount in on the client, and will not realise this, if that’s the case, usually rebooting the client helps.

s/and/amd/ ^%$# hate spell checkers


Thanks Danny

I did try rebooting the client (and server) multiple times to no avail.


what does amq say?
you can, from another host do: amq -h client-host

btw, I thing that nfs_server must also run on the client …
I have nfs_server_enable=YES


$ 20:10:57 ronald@sjakie [~]
grep nfs_ser /etc//defaults/rc.conf
nfs_server_enable="NO"                # This host is an NFS server (or NO).


Is your client a NFS server? If not than there is not need for nfs_server_enable YES on the client.

Regards,
Ronald.
