Hi,

Yesterday I installed Fedora Core 6 on a server. I need to mount to another fileserver but I don't get it to work.

This is what I've done so far:
1) In /etc/hosts I've placed the server where I need to mount to:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.1.6.222 servername
::1 servername localhost.localdomain localhost

2) In /etc/fstab I've placed my mount(s):
servername:/credcif/merge/ /mnt/merge nfs defaults 1 1
...
(i've made the directory /mnt/merge with chmod 777)

When I ping servername, I find him.
But when i do "mount -a", the server hangs and i also get "no route to host" on startup when trying to mount nfs.

I guess all the necessary services are running and my firewall and SELinux are disabled.

Does anybody knows where my problem can be? I have this errors with Fedora Core 6.
Thx

Good Day

Go and read up on NFS, I think this is what you are trying to do??

Yes, but normally mounting is not a problem.

I've used the same way for fedora 3, 4 and 5 and it worked perfectly. Now, with Fedora Core 6, when I try to mount the systems hangs.

I was thinking that perhaps in FC6 the mounting needs to be done another way. But I can't find any documentation about this.

I see in your /etc/fstab file you are using the NFS options,have you created the entries in the /etc/exports file. The file system needs to be exported before it will be mounted via NFS

No, this doesn't work either.

But I think it's not a the problem with the mounting settings. My guess is that i am running a firewall. At installation I dsiabled the firewall and SELinux. Or maybe i'm running a service too much?
