Dear Jean-Denis, I must be pretty unlucky or a bit stupid since I couldn't remote-mount my target filesystem yet! I followed your instuctions: effectively I had neither the entries shown above nor rpc file on my target. Trying to do the best I copied the /etc/rpc file from the host to the target: the problem is not solved yet. We cross-compiled 'rpcinfo' command, but running it on the target we obtain: rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: remote system error - Invalid argument While if we remote-execute it with # rpcinfo -p 126.126.126.107 (our target's IP) from the host's command line prompt we correctly obtain program vers proto port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper (Running the rpcinfo command on the host, it shows mountd and nfsd ports too...) Once again if we try '# ./mountd' we obtain Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to send, errno = Invalid argument At this point I can only make suppositions. There is very little information about portmapper in all the documentation, books and HOWTOs I looked in, and I read about a 'RPC server'. Nevertheless I could find no remainders to it looking around on my PC Linux Box nor something similar. Is there a RPC server that I didn't start yet? I feel not yet desperate, but this fight is exhausting...! Thank you very much for your help. Best regards. Piero Dominioni R.S.R. srl ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
