Hi Marc,
Just to make sure:
* you have 2 computers and set shares on either a drive or file folder
on computer #1
* on computer #2, you then used MCC->Network Sharing ->Access NFS
shared drives and directories and clicked on "Search servers"
* the result of the "Search servers" found your computer #1 IP
* you then clicked on the computer #1 IP which then showed your shared
drive or folder
* you then clicked on the shared folder and clicked "Mount point" on
the bottom
* a window appeared saying "Where do you want to mount
"TheNameOfYourFolder" and it gave you the option of where to mount it.
(I usually leave it at default "/mnt/TheNameOfYourFolder") and clicked OK
* you then clicked "Mount" and you DID NOT GET A WINDOW SAYING
"mounting partition .... failed"
* you clicked on "Done"
* a confirming window opened saying "Do you want to save the
/etc/fstab modifications? and you clicked Yes
If this worked every time, it would be awesome. I have found that it
does not work. In my case I always get the warning window: "mounting
partition .... failed" and I then have to modify the fstab by hand
with the computer IP address.
If you add the <host name>/<IP address> mapping using the
MCC/Network/<Host definitions> and don't modify by hand the fstab file,
does it work or not?
Regards.
Bernard
