Problems with NFS

Hi to all.

I'm trying to mount nfs shares with my aa1 so I install following packages from default repository.

nfs-utils - 1:1.1.1-2.fc8.i386
nfs-utils - 1.1.0-4.fc8.i386

Starting the rpcbind and nfslock services.
And I try to mount a remote share with:

mount -t nfs 192.168.0.2:/alm /mnt/server

but I get the following error:

mount.nfs: Protocol not supported

The service is mounted by other computers on the net so the server is well configured, showmount and rpcinfo gives right information.

Any idea about this?

May thanks.

 

I've tried this myself as well, and it ended up with me using Samba instead. As far as I can tell, the Linpus-kernel that the AA1 uses isn't compiled with NFS-support. =/

 

It seems that the default installation can only handle nfs protocol version 2.

What should work is:

Code:

mount -o nfsvers=2 192.168.0.2:/alm /mnt/server

Little Tip.
When a nfs share is mounted like this it has to be mounted the same way on an other server also.

 

NFS is possible, you just need the right modules
Search this forum, it's explained somewhere (can't find it at the moment).

 

Many thanks to all, it works fine.
