error trying to mount NFS dir.

[soleblazer]

I started the following on the Linux

[rpciod]
rpc.statd
rpc.rquotad
rpc.rquotad
rpc.mountd --no-nfs-version 3
portmap

In my /etc/exports file I have this:

/mnt/disk3/oradata (rw)

At another Linux machine I issue: mount -t nfs 38.138.3.93:/mnt/disk3/oradata /mnt/disk3/oradata

I get the error "Permission Denied." This message comes from the server. Please note that the 38.138.3.93 ip is the Linux server with the export.

I know this is probably really stupid, but what have I missed.

Thanks guys!!

Make sure nfs is started on the server: /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start

Check permissions on the mount point.

Verify lilo.conf entry: append="/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start" to /etc/lilo.conf

Verify rw pernmissions in /etc/exports. If it's missing, not rw, or commented out, the client can no longer mount... Permission denied by server

Verify /etc/fstab client side entry (something like):
Your_Server:/dir1 /dir2 nfs timeo=14,intr

Good Luck!
