Thanks to those who replied with solutions but this still isn't working.
I cannot export the /mnt/cdrom directory from my NFS server. The two other exports
(/home & /mail) are successful. Here are the /etc/exports, /etc/hosts, /etc/fstab and
output of exportfs -va from the server (box6)
1. exportfs -va
================
[root@box6 admin]# exportfs -va
exporting box7.g3.orangehs:/mnt/cdrom
exporting *.g3.orangehs:/var/spool/mail
exporting *.g3.orangehs:/home
exporting box7.g3.orangehs:/mnt/cdrom to kernel
box7.g3.orangehs:/mnt/cdrom: Invalid argument
[root@box6 admin]#
2. NFS server:/etc/exports
==========================
/home *.g3.orangehs(rw) # dopey(rw) sleepy(rw) sneezy(rw) \
grumpy(rw) happy(rw) bashful(rw)
/var/mail *.g3.orangehs(rw) # dopey(rw) sleepy(rw) sneezy(rw) \
grumpy(rw) happy(rw) bashful(rw)
/mnt/cdrom box7(ro)
3. /etc/fstab
=============
/dev/hda5 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda2 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat user,exec,umask=0,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
4. /etc/hosts
=============
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.12.177.179 box6.g3.orangehs doc box6
10.12.177.175 box1.g3.orangehs dopey box1
10.12.177.177 box2.g3.orangehs sleepy box2
10.12.177.174 box3.g3.orangehs sneezy box3
10.12.177.176 box4.g3.orangehs grumpy box4
10.12.177.172 box5.g3.orangehs happy box5
10.12.177.178 box7.g3.orangehs bashful box7
