mounting NFS

[Cockerham, Bill]

Check your firewall.  I have had that happen to me more times than I care to
remember.  As a side note...Anybody know what ipchains rules to add to open
up NFS server/client connections.  I haven't had much luck with this.

Subject: mounting NFS

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?

Thanjs,
John Lindinger
