NFS not working...

NFS not working...

[Mark Jaffe]

I recently had NFS working successfully for me; I had mounted my new box
(YDL 2.0 with 2.4.15-benh SMP kernel) from my old box (MkLinux) and had
started moving file systems across. During this process I had a crash on the
new system and needed to rebuild the new kernel. It is now up to 2.4.17 and
now NFS does not work. I can mount the new machine from the old, but it
complains the file system is read-only (even though the /etc/exports file
contains the single line: /oldsys wizdev.net (rw,no_root_squash)

So what could have gone wrong? Where should I begin to look?

 1st thing to try: take the space out between wizdev.net and (rw, so that
your first line should read:

/oldsys wizdev.net(rw,no_root_squash)

 I read on linuxdoc that nfs is really picky about that.

 2nd thing, make sure that when you compiled your kernel, you compiled
with v3 server and client support. v3 is supposed to be much more
efficient.

 FWIW, I have a dual800 running 2.4.18pre1 serving NFS to a dual 450
running 2.4.17pre2 without any problems.

Cheers,

Chris
