Make sure that your /etc/fstab on the client system uses tabs vs spaces between the different entries.

Hello.

Thanks for your reply.

I don't know where I can find the log.

I already look into /var/log/messages file, but there's nothing i'm l=
ooking
for.

Where can I find the log?

Hi,
Through all of this, you haven't said what error you are getting.
You should see an error on both the client trying to mount, and the=
server
when it fails the mount, or successfully mounts.

Please send that information.

Thanks for you reply, Andy.

Because the nfs server setting is configured long time ago and it =

other 8 computers with SL 4.6, I think it is not a problem.

Thanks for your advice, but our lab server can be accessed only in=
the
lab. So, there's no security problem.
I found something.

With the setting I wrote previously, the one written latter ( /hom=
e ) will
be mounted.

In this situation, if I type mount -a, /data is also mounted.

I think this means that fstab file syntax and nfs server setting i=
s all
right.

Am I right?

Additionally, NFS server is SL 4.6 and clients that drive me crazy=
are SL
5.4 and SL 5.3.

I want to install SL 4.6, but its kernel doesn't recognize i7 860.

Please help me.

   Silly suggestion perhaps, but did you re-run `exportfs -ra` aft=
er
   changing exports? if that doesn't work, maybe reload/restart th=
e nfs
   server daemon?

   Also, just as a PSA: exporting to *(rw) is a very dangerous
   animal... you may be giving root access to your shares to anyon=
e
   with root privileges on any client visible to your server!

   Best,
   Andy

       Thanks Urs and Stephan.

       I set up three machines and all show me that

       /home *
       /data *

       when i typed showmount -e 192.168.0.109.

       Also, I tried to change rw to ro in fstab files, still they
       don't work

       strange thing is that I set up three machines with the same
       configuration,

       but one of them works!!

       What on earth is this?

       And, if I manually type mount -t nfs 192.168.0.109:/data /d=
ata,
       it will be mounted.

       hmm

       Please help

          Hi,

          What does showmount shows on the NFS client?

          showmount -e 192.168.0.109

          Cheers,

                 Urs
