Hello everyone.

I would appreciate an NFS networking between my Xubuntu and Ubuntu PCs.
I have followed this guide: http://mybeni.rootzilla.de/mybeNi/20..._ubuntu_linux/


But added my computer names and folders (nicolas-laptop (Ubuntu) as it is to browse, and nicolas-desktop (Xubuntu) as to be parts).

The only problem is that when I type the command "sudo mount nicolas-desktop:/home/nicolas/Music /media" as saying Ubuntu that it can not find the address.

nicolas-desktop is set to cable, nicolas-laptop is wireless. How do I get it to work after the wizard?

Can you ping the desktop from the laptop?

No. Ubuntu say: unknown host nicolas-desktop

have you inserted nicolas-desktop in your /etc/hosts ?

Where I should put it in /etc/hosts?

Yes, nicolas-desktop is in the host file.

like this
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
nicolas-ip nicolas-desktop

Should I add nicolas-desktop on my laptop?

My hostfil in Xubuntu looks like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 nicolas-desktop

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
:: 1-IP6 localhost IP6-loopback
fe00:: 0 IP6-localnet
ff00:: 0 IP6-mcastprefix
ff02:: 1 IP6-allnodes
ff02:: 2 IP6-allrouters
ff02:: 3 IP6-allhosts

if you can explain me with more detail is your laptop nfs server or your desktop along with their ips. also post your /etc/exports

My desktop have installed NFS-kernel-server, and my laptop have nfs-common.

My desktop /etc/exports looks like this:

# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported
# to NFS clients. See exports(5).
#
# Example for NFSv2 and NFSv3:
# /srv/homes nicolas-desktop(rw,sync) nicolas-laptop(rw,sync)
#
# Example for NFSv4:
# /srv/nfs4 gss/krb5i(rw,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt)
# /srv/nfs4/homes gss/krb5i(rw,sync)
#
/home/nicolas/Musiknumre nicolas(rw)

ok here is what you need to do,
on server where your ip is 192.168.1.1
/etc/exports

/home/nicolas/Musiknumre 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0(rw,sync)
then restart your nfs service.


on client where your ip is 192.168.1.2
mkdir /root/nfstesting
mount your nfs like
mount -t 192.168.1.1:/home/nicolas/Musiknumre /root/nfstesting

One note is if there is a firewall up on the NFS server the needed ports need to be opened through it for access or for a quick test is turn the firewall off to eliminate one possible issue.

Brian1: I don't have a firewall. Only on the router.

Geniushasan: I'm don't shure that I understand where i should put this in.
But I have added /home/nicolas/Musiknumre 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0(rw,sync) in /etc/exports. And removed it was written before.

I tried to do what you say: mount -t 192.168.1.1:/home/nicolas/Musiknumre /media, i will create this in Media indstead.
Here i the shell:

_____________________

nicolas@nicolas-laptop:~$ sudo su
root@nicolas-laptop:/home/nicolas# mount -t 192.168.1.1:/home/nicolas/Musiknumre /media
Usage: mount -V : print version
mount -h : print this help
mount : list mounted filesystems
mount -l : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
mount device : mount device at the known place
mount directory : mount known device here
mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command
Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
mount --bind olddir newdir
or move a subtree:
mount --move olddir newdir
One can change the type of mount containing the directory dir:
mount --make-shared dir
mount --make-slave dir
mount --make-private dir
mount --make-unbindable dir
One can change the type of all the mounts in a mount subtree
containing the directory dir:
mount --make-rshared dir
mount --make-rslave dir
mount --make-rprivate dir
mount --make-runbindable dir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid .
Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd].
For many more details, say man 8 mount .
root@nicolas-laptop:/home/nicolas#

dang i am literally sorry for typing it in a hurry,
it should be mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/home/nicolas/Musiknumre /media


where as you need to set the following ips on your machine

for server 192.168.1.1
for client 192.168.1.2
although the ips i specify was just to make you understand. you can use the default ips which is given by your router. make sure if you use the ips given by your router then you need to edit /etc/exports and change 192.168.1.1 to your assigned ip.

I writted ifconfig in Terminal.
Here is the output from Xubuntu
