Hi guys gotta question for ya'

Got 2 pc's in different locations, what i would like to do is be able to mount a drive from one pc onto another, so that i can ftp into one site and have both sites files.

Generally i want to combine both pc's hd, there both 600GB each so i want 1.2TB

Ne help would be greatly appreciated, i'm currently looking into mounting network drives, and ip tunneling...right direction?

You need NFS. You export drives/directories from the remote machine you want to see, and you mount the drives on the machine you're sitting at. You need the portmapper running to use NFS.

It's all here

thanx, i'm gonna check those things out right now,

again thanx for your help

i've read and read and searched and searched...... I don't kno why i keep getting permission denied

went through the entire document plus several other ones and i have no clue why it's not working.

everything seems to be setup right, my servers' /etc/export is setup properly i'm sure
and nfsd is started and i've exportfs -ra and rpcinfo -p 'd but my client still will not work

on my client i simply try to mount didn't do ne thing to it, i then tried restarted nfsd on both and lockd and statd but still same error

ne clue what i'm missing?

Need more details. What's going wrong? Do you get error messages, hangs or what?

Damien

Sorry, I'm on an old Mac and I couldn't see the whole screen. If you're getting Permission Denied, chances are you're not the owner of the exported filesystem. Are you getting the errors on 556munting111? Post what it says.

You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root

hosts.deny on server
portmap:ALL


client's hosts.* are left untouched and the ip's int he hosts.* on the server are pointing to the client properly .... not sure what's wrong ? =\

Can you post your /etc/exports file? I think this is happening because your permissions are wrong in there. Also post your etc/fstab.

Damien

/etc/exports on the server
home/glftpd/site #.#.#.100(ro,no_root_squash)

/etc/fstab i didn't touch , don't i only have to do that if i want it to start at bootup? right now i just want it to work then i'll stick it in there, if i'm wrong lemme kno =D

I see you have the share exported as read-only. In that case you have to mount on your client as read-only too. You're supposed to tell mount it's an NFS file system too.

Try this:

mount -t nfs -o ro server:/export/file/system /mnt/mountpoint

You have to run mount as root.

Damien

another point of interest...

[root@omear DIVX]# exportfs
exportfs: unknown.sagonet.net has non-inet addr

i don't kno where it's grabbing that shit from in my /etc/hosts i have my loopback and that's it...?

mounting it with read-only permission and as nfs t ype didn't work either same either =\ i think it has something to do with my non-inet problem

That I can't help you with. Never seen anything like it. Did that other mount command work?

Damien

i got the same response with that other mount technique haha damn i'm screwed =D

thanx for all your help

Got it working,

What was happening was the loopback address in my servers /etc/host was grabbing a void dns and therefore was not directing correctly so i added the ip of the Client and it exportfs -ra and it worked like a charm,

again thanx for your help Damien I truly appreciate it.
