dear linux forum
i have configured fedora core 5 desktop as nfs server
and fedora core 2 desktop as nfs client.and configured
all possible things and also disabled firewall.but
when i give mount command from client. i get message
that is server response no such file or directory.please
give the solution of this problem .my email id
is horizonti_2004@yahoo.com ,as i have spent lot of hours
on this problem

Post the config /etc/exports file contents from the server
Post the command you are using on the client for the mount.
Post the exact error message.
Are you using IP or hostname? Which ever post the releated info for both machines.

Is the nfs service started?
You say no firewall enabled on the server. Is selinux enabled? If so disable that.


Also do not post more than once.

hello brian1
the contents of /etc/exports file are
/home/student 192.168.1.2(rw)
//where 192.168.1.2 is ipadd of client
but i want to tell you that i have opted other options as well.
command on client is
mount 192.168.1.1:/home/student /home/student/test
//where 192.168.1.1 is ipadd of server
but i want to tell you that i have opted other options as well
now message is
mount 192.168.1.1:/home/student failed reason given by server:no such file or directory
i have started nfs through
/etc/init.d/nfs restart or /sbin/service nfs reload or /sbin/service nfs restart
also firewall is disabled and alsoservice iptables stop
but i get the same message.please help

Have the similiar exports file. Only difference is I use the -t option in the mount command.

mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/home/student /home/student/test

dear brian1
i tried this command also,but i get the same message

Only thought is a permissions issue on the directory.
