Hi All,

I have two servers A and B. Both RHEL 3 AS patched to the same

A wants to map to a dir on B /u01/patch. A has a local dir /u01/nfs_patch to do this.

A and B can ping each others names and IP's:
ping serverb
ping serverb.domainname
ping ip_addr

Doing on A:
mount serverb:/u01/patch /u01/nfs_patch
Works a treat.

chkconfig is bringing up the NFS service on both on boot.

The hosts.allow file on B looks like this:
ALL:.domainname

The exports file on B looks like this:
/u01 *.vuw.ac.nz(rw,sync)
(Should this explicitly say /u01/patch??)

The fstab file on A which is trying to do the mount looks like this:
serverb:/u01/patch /u01/nfs_patch nfs defaults 0 0

I am getting a cannot connect to remote error. Not sure of the exact text I am afraid. Doing dmesg shows me:
nfs: server serverb not responding, still trying
nfs: server serverb OK
nfs: server serverb not responding, still trying
nfs: server serverb OK
nfs: server serverb not responding, still trying
nfs: server serverb OK

The firewall is disabled.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks!!

Colin
