You're still using Windows syntax. Use NFS syntax instead. mount -o user=,password= robin.netgear.com:/znfs/edrv /mnt //robin/ = Windows robin: = NFS

Why guess? It listens tcp:2049 - it's nfsv4. It does not - it's nfsv3. Jessie comes with NFS2/3/4 support, NFS4 being the default. > The directory is exported as: > /znfs/edrv/ *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,root_squash) > If this is a result of 'showmount -e' then it does not proof anything (showmount always uses nfsv3).

First, nobody mounts nfs like you do. It's done differently. Second, they give you automounter which simplifies things. Third, assuming 'robin' is a hostname, and you're using ipv4: sudo mount -t nfs -o soft,tcp robin:/znfs/edrv /mnt Last, but not least - https://wiki.debian.org/NFS Reco

I think you're using a CIFS/SMB-style address. Try $ sudo mount robin:/znfs/edrv -o . Take at look at the 'nfs' man page for the specification. The server is Jessie 8.7 and NFS-V4 (I think!) The directory is exported as: /znfs/edrv/ *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,root_squash) And the mount is: > /dev/sdf1 on /znfs/edrv type ext3 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) I can't find any info that looks like a solution to the problem. Anybody have a clue? A hint? Seen it before? As usual, Many TIA!! Dennis -- For more information, please reread.
