If thta's what you have in the exports file >on 192.168.2.1 the problem is solved by fixing that conflict. pretty sure the config I sent originally is right - the server is 192.168.2.1 and the client 192.168.2.2... so the entry in the config file on 192.168.2.1 says "export this volume to a client at 192.168.2.2" actually that reminds me - I did screw up the original fstab anaonymising - by accidentally sticking an extra space in there which seems to cause problems - but it's not in my fstab file - just the email - the fstab file actaully looks like this, with the client address and brackets for options touching: [[EMAIL PROTECTED] /root]# cat /etc/exports / 192.168.2.2(rw) /usr 192.168.2.2(rw) /usr/local/src/updates 192.168.2.2(ro,no_root_squash) /mnt/cdrom 192.168.2.2(ro,no_root_squash) >On mine I use something like: > >192.168.0.4:/ /server nfs noauto,rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr > >That works fine for everything.

Tweaking didn't because I never changed anything. pretty sure my /etc/exports syntax (well the correct version listed above anyway) is correct... but please correct me if I'm wrong! :) still not having much luck - some mounts work where others don't... ugh - sleepy - hopefully someone will have a clue for me when I wake up! :) tia again - dan. -- Nitro - 3D Visualisation, Graphics & Animation Ph (+61 2) 9810 5177 - Fx (+61 2) 9810 0199 http://www.nitro.com.au/ _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
