Topic: NFS

[Bob]

I followed the instructions on in the administration FAQ section on installing nfs.  But every time I try to mount a nfs device I receicve this error

[root@Doogieland /root]# mount -v 24.128.7.219:/storage /home/e-smith/files/ibays/music/html/THE_BOX


mount: no type was given - I'll assume nfs because of the colon
mount: RPC: Timed out

Any thoughts

is rpc.mount started?? that might not be the name of it... try typing "ps ax" look through the output for rpc.mount or something like rpc. if thats not started, start that and all should work well.

by the way... never post the exact ip and directory of what you are mounting on nfs, nfs is so insecure (hence e-smith not wanting to install it) that anyone and their brother can mount it from anywhere in the world.
