hi scorp123. I'm running CentOS v5.2 i386 and I had the same problem with Ubuntu 8.04 : to mount (using NFS) to an exported folder on a CentOS server.
My config: - A CentOS 5.2 machine the will act as a NFS server with IP of 192.168.1.151. I disabled the firewall and SELinux on CentOS server . If you want to play with Firewall and SELinux furthermore, than it's up to yourself. I've disabled them for testing purposes. - Ubuntu 8.04 machine - NFS client with IP of 192.168.1.138 and a patrick user account 1) First, I've created a folder to be exported on a CentOS server. mkdir /home/kris/storage 2) Then, I've set everyone to have read-write permissions: sudo chmod 777 storage 3) Then using GUI version of NFS I've exported: 3.1) /home folder as Read-Only (this had to be done so everyone can see all the exported folders) 3.2) /home/kris/storage as Read-Write for everyone on my network by typing 192.168.1.0/24 as Host(s) 4) On Ubuntu PC I've created an empty folder to use as a mount point mkdir /home/patrick/share 5) Again on Ubuntu PC I installed NFS: apt-get install nfs-common 6) Finally I've mounted the exported folder: mount -t nfs -o soft,intr,tcp,timeo=20 192.168.1.151:/home/kris/storage /home/patrick/share 7) To see if the folder was accessible for Ubuntu client I issued a command: mount and it showed me in the last line: 192.168.1.151:/home/kris/storage on /home/patrick/share type nfs (rw,soft,intr,tcp,timeo=20, addr=192.168.1.151) 8) to stop using that exported folder simply run as a root: umount share 9) I don't have time now to write how to permanently add this mount point during Ubuntu system startup but if you're interested, then let me know. It's all about modyfying /etc/fstab file. with Regards kris -- Ubuntu 8.04: /sbin/mount.nfs no longer understands certain (standard?) mount options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251923 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
