First let's test the network end-to-end. From the client: $ rpcinfo -t server 100005 program 100005 version 1 ready and waiting program 100005 version 2 ready and waiting program 100005 version 3 ready and waiting $ rpcinfo -u server 100005 program 100005 version 1 ready and waiting program 100005 version 2 ready and waiting program 100005 version 3 ready and waiting Than repeat the test for the nfs protocol itself (use 100003 instead of 100005). These tests send a null request and test the result. If they pass: * No need to test connectivity or firewall. * No need to test rpcbind work OK. * No need to test that the service itself is OK. * Just config/permission problems. If they fail, you now have a list of what to test... One last note -- Fedora-9 is EOL in ~two weeks. Better plan your upgrade/replacement path (I already upgraded all my hosts to F11) Cheers, -- Oron Peled Voice: +972-4-8228492 o...@actcom.co.il http://www.actcom.co.il/~oron "The speed of light really is too slow nowdays." -- Alan Cox _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
