NFS Mount Problem

sunveer · 08-19-2012, 04:51 AM

I have setup a physical machine and a virtual machine (libvirt) withe network interface NAT .

I have disabled firewall and selinux for the time being.

My /etc/exports file on physical machine is :

Code:

/home    *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)

On the virtual machine, I can successfully ping physical machine and showmount -e IP command gives proper results.

But the command

Code:

mount -t nfs IP:/home /mnt

gives error : "mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting IP:/home "

My Physical machine IP is : 172.24.0.2
and Virtual Machine IP is : 192.168.1.12

Are you getting nfs denied log entries on the physical server?
On the virtual server are you logged in as root (uid=1) when you try the mount?

I don't have access to the physical server right now, so I don't know about logs.

Yes, I am logged in as root on the virtual server to mount.
