hello

I have a linux machine serving as an file server. I am using it as an NFS server to mount some filesystems on other machines.

I was able to nfs mount on a Linux client machine but am having trouble doing the same on a Solaris 10 machine.

Any idea what could be preventing the nfs mounts?

Here is the command i was testing.
-----------------------------------------
root@ccv890 # ping 172.18.0.14
172.18.0.14 is alive


root@v890# mount -F nfs 172.18.0.14:/apps /apps
NFS server 172.18.0.14 not responding still trying
-------------------------------------------

MY VFSTAB entries look like this:
---------------------------------------
172.18.0.14:/rocks - /rocks nfs 2 yes bg,rw,exec
172.18.0.14:/apps - /apps nfs 2 yes bg,rw,exec
172.18.0.14:/userhome - /userhome nfs 2 yes bg,rw,exec
172.18.0.14:/bioinfo - /bioinfo nfs 2 yes bg,rw,exec
172.18.0.14:/clusta - /clusta nfs 2 yes bg,rw,exec
172.18.0.14:/clustb - /clustb nfs 2 yes bg,rw,exec
172.18.0.14:/biodb - /biodb nfs 2 yes bg,rw,suid
--------------------------------------

Hi harinder,

Here is the output of rpcinfo -p.
ON Solaris machine rpcinfo -p didnt work by itself. i had to give the host name.
My linux nfs server hostname is "cclfs".

So, looks like all the rpc services are running, right? Sorry i am a newbie to all this sysadmin and networking stuff.

Thanks for the help
