I have two machines: A laptop and desktop.
The laptop is running Fedora Core 2 and my desktop Fedora Core 3, more or less straight out of the box. All NFS-related services are enabled on both.
I set up my laptop as an NFS server, as I've a lot of files I want to transfer to my desktop. I'm sharing my /home folder and its all mounted cleanly and set to accept connections from my laptop.
/etc/exports:
/home/mark 192.168.0.2(rw,sync) 192.168.0.1(rw,sync)
/etc/hosts.deny:
ALL:ALL
/etc/hosts.allow:
portmap: 192.168.0.2 , 192.168.0.1
lockd: 192.168.0.2 , 192.168.0.1
rquotad: 192.168.0.2 , 192.168.0.1
mountd: 192.168.0.2 , 192.168.0.1
statd: 192.168.0.2 , 192.168.0.1
It mounts cleanly to /mnt/share. 0.2 is my laptop and 0.1 my desktop. Unless I've missed something, they should mount cleanly.
I've set my desktop to mount the shared folder to /home/mark/laptop in /etc/fstab:
192.168.0.2/mnt/share /home/mark/laptop nfs proto=tcp
I checked my boot-up log...NFS is started without errors and no error is mentioned as far as the above mounting goes, but nothing shows in /laptop. At this point I'm clueless so I turn it over to the good people here.
