well i am able to mount nfs file manually

but what i wanted to do is to automount it at system start up time so that i don't have to manually mount server files ..

so what i did is that i made an entry in fstab file

127.0.0.1:/home/dir /home/kool/dir nfs rw,sync 0 0

this is the format..

also i have my netfs running...

also i have made entry in my auto.master file...

/home/kool/dir /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60

also this entry in auto.misc file...

/home/kool/dir -fstype=nfs,rw,sync 127.0.0.1:/home/dir

well the problem is that my computer is giving error rpc program not regestored...

well same stuff we did at my friends pc its work well no error, and file are automatically mounted at startup...

also one thing... when i reload netfs service file are automatically mounted...

what can i do...?

i am running redhat 9

also any idea to change run levels of service


thanks in advance

Is this your actual line? or is 127.0.0.1 just a scrubbed address for posting here? I don't understand why you are using NFS to mount a local directory on the same computer???

Do you have portmapper running?

well matter of fact is that i don't have NIC card so i am using loopback stuff in linux that is 127.0.0.1

also i have my portmapper running...

if there is any change that are require plz tell me..

well we are learning how to implement different server in linux based enviroment......

also in win 2003 server based enviroment...

plz help...

thanks in advanced dude...

Ok, well the box must act as both NFS server and client in this situation. You have your fstab setup, but do you have /etc/exports properly edited.
Do you have portmapper, nfsd, and lockd running? Does your kernel support NFS, as both server and client? This will require two different drivers (maybe as modules, maybe builtin). NFS is a complicated server that requires several daemons to be run simultaneously. I am not familiar with redhat, so I can't really help with specifics.

Here are the redhat docs for NFS. I suggest you follow through them and make sure of every step of the procedure, for both client and server.

Good luck...

every thing is edited properly...

also all service are running...
