Hello KCLUG: I've got a host rhserver1 that has within /etc/exports /data 172.16.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw) # raid5 storage on my host linux01 logged in as root I try to mount the above as follows... mount rhserver1:/dada /mnt/rhserver1 but I get the message... mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused rhserver1 is in my linux01's /etc/hosts with correct IP address. The connection is good because... ping rhserver1 -c 3 is successful at resolving the host name and successfully pings the server. Anybody got a clue why the mount command fails?
