Can't mount nfs share from fstab but can mount it manually - help
Can anyone elablorate on the requirement for mounting NFS shares in fstab?
I edited /etc/hosts and added a line for the ip address and hostname of my server like this:
Code:
192.168.100.100 MyServer
Then in /etc/fstab I used this:
Code:
//MyServer:/Documents /home/myuser/Documents nfs rw,hard,intr 0 0
The results is this error:
Code:
$ sudo mount -a -t nfs
mount.nfs: can't get address for //MyServer
Code:
$ ping MyServer

What am I missing?
BTW, I forgot to mention, mounting manually works fine:
Code:
$ sudo mount -t nfs -vvv 192.168.100.100:Documents /home/myuser/Documents
mount: fstab path: "/etc/fstab"
mount: lock path: "/etc/mtab~"
mount: temp path: "/etc/mtab.tmp"
mount: spec: "192.168.100.100:Documents"
mount: node: "/home/myuser/Documents"
mount: types: "nfs"
mount: opts: "(null)"
mount: external mount: argv[0] = "/sbin/mount.nfs"
mount: external mount: argv[1] = "192.168.100.100:Documents"
mount: external mount: argv[2] = "/home/myuser/Documents"
mount: external mount: argv[3] = "-v"
mount: external mount: argv[4] = "-o"
mount: external mount: argv[5] = "rw"

UPDATE:
Code:
$ nslookup
** server can't find MyServer: NXDOMAIN
What does that last line mean? |
