Well, I mount NFS partitions under woody from Solaris, so I'll mention a couple of things that you might want to try. First, are you sure that you have the proper nfs packages installed? Check by typing "dpkg -l nfs-client" . Next, try mounting the partition with fewer options. For a first try, just use the defaults. If that works, add back in your options one by one and see what happens. -- Jim Crumley | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Work: 612 624-6804 or -0378 |
