*** I also posted this in the Unix general forum, but would like to get the Linux point of view. ***
Hello all -
I've searched this forum, but was unable to find out the info I need.
I'm trying to mount (nfs mount) a directory on another box from my Linux machine.
The mount point resides on a Tru64 digital unix machine. The machine trying to do the mount is a Linux machine (redhat 8.0).
I'm having a hard time getting the point mounted.
More specifically - I get the error:
mount RPC timed out
This is how I think it's supposed to be done:
Tru64 machine:
In /etc/exports you must make an entry to allow exporting of file:
/usr/some_file IP ADDRESS
Linux machine:
In /etc/fstab you must make an entry:
IP ADDRESS:/usr/some_file /my_dir nfs
Could someone shed some light on the problem?
I believe that all the necessary daemons are started.
Thanks!
