NFS server is down?
 

I have redhat fedora core 2 on an amd athlon. And I am trying to mount nfs partitions.
I can mount the drive on one computer, and then if I try to on the other it says server is down. I edited the exports file. (/home 192.168.0.2(rw,sync)) and used the status command on the server I want to mount my drive from. I says its running, but each time I try to mount it; it says the server is down. Any Ideas on how to resolve this issue. I can post more information on the problem if you ask. thanks, r^2

After editing your exports file, are you exporting the filesystem so its recognized as an exported filesystem?

Edit file.
Run this command: exportfs -a

Then try to mount. And make sure nfsd is running with portmap... etc.

I did that (exportfs -a). and I used rpcinfo -p and it says that portmapper is running. But when I try to mount it . It keeps saying server is down.

your addition to your exports explains this

Your telling nfs to only export it to 192.168.0.2 and thats going to be the only computer that will ever be able to mount it.

I only have two computers. ones ip is 192.168.0.2( the client) and 192.168.0.3. I want ....2 to mount ....3s drive. I dont have to include ....3 in the exports file do I?

use 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0

This allows machines in the entire subnet ip 1 - 255

Also verify firewall rules if they apply for access.
