How to mount linux to Solaris

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi Friends,

I am trying following command on my solaris box:

mount abchostlinux12:/data1/mount_dir /data/mount_dir

OUTPUT:
nfs mount: abchostlinux12: : RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Success
nfs mount: retrying: /data/mount_dir

After this there is no response on command line. I have observed for more than four hours but still it is stuck on "nfs mount: retrying: /data/mount_dir "

Infact i can mount from different machine on the same solaris box's /data/mount_dir location. Please help as soon as possible.

Regards,
Sebby

could be a nfs version conflict... try to use the version in the mount options. something like:

# mount -F nfs -o vers=3 server:/server/mount /local/mount

maybe the linux server uses a older nfs version. so you can also try "vers=2".

Hey Duke thanks for your help but unfortunately the solution dint work i am still facing the same issue. what can be the issue?

4

has this mount been shared to other devices and if so, what OS are they running?

5

what is the output of "dfshares ip-of-linux-server"?

The output is as follows:

nfs dfshares: (linux IP): RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Success

I have unmounted the earlier mounting to this path on solaris. That OS is not accesible to us but we can only mount it. So I cannot mention which Os version I was mounting to earlier.

I have resolved this error after exporting the path on /etc/exports file.

Thanks all for your help.
