It works, but it doesn't

It works, but it doesn't

[Steve Gonzales]

Hello all.

Situation:
One NFS server
One NFS mount client
One NFS installation client (for RedHat 9)

IPAddr1 = IP Address of Server
IPAddr2 = IP Address of NFS mount client
IPAddr3 = IP Address of NFS installation client

------------------------------------------------------

Server /etc/exports:
/install/RedHat/9	<IPAddr2>(ro,no_root_squash)
/install/RedHat/9	<IPAddr3>(ro,no_root_squash)

When I manually mount from <IPAddr2>, it works.

However, when I attempt to do an NFS installation of RedHat 9 to
<IPAddr3>, it fails.

IPAddr3 Error Message:
That directory could not be mounted from the server.

IPAddr1 /var/log/messages entry:
Aug 7 09:23:56: <servername> rpc.mountd: refused mount request from
<FQDN for IPAddr3> for /install/RedHat/9 (/): no export entry.

------------------------------------------------------

I hope it's not too confusing.  Any help would be greatly appreciated as
this is study for the big RHCE test.

Thanks.
Steve

Hi Steve,

Try:

Server /etc/exports:
/install/RedHat/9 <IPAddr2>(ro,no_root_squash) <IPAddr3>(ro,no_root_squash)

AFAIK, one can only have one entry per exported directory (in your case /install/RedHat/9).

Greetings
   Marc

Put them both on one line (separated with spaces), and it will
work. i.e.

/install/RedHat/9 <IPAddr2>(ro,no_root_squash) <IPAddr3>(ro,no_root_squash)


Cheers,
  Trond
