[Sunhelp] RPC mounting File Systems.

[Ana Yuseepi]

thanks for replying immediately.. which system should i start the nfs server? i started it in the source system and then now, i get the following :

source system:
# ps -ef|grep nfsd
    root   532     1  0 12:26:26 ?        0:00 /usr/lib/nfs/nfsd -a 16
# share
-               /source/source_dir   rw=target_system   "AVC" 

target system:
# mount -F nfs source_system:/source/source_dir /target 
Permission denied

which permission is it referring?

Hello Ana,

On your NFS server, check the following:

1) Run the "exportfs" command to ensure the file system is exported.  If
it does not show up, add an entry to the /etc/dfs/dfstab and run
exportfs -a.

2) Ensure NFS is running (ps -ef | grep nfsd).  If not, start it:

	/etc/init.d/nfs.server start

NFS services do not start up automatically if the /etc/dfs/dfstab file
does not have any NFS entries.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Walter
