Help to mount a directory between 2 stations

[roadruner]

Hi,

I'm unable to mount a directory from a HP-UX station to a SGI station.
on the HP-UX (name : samy) I've created the file : /etc/exports
Then I've insert the line :
/work scoobidoo(rw)

Then, I've launch the command : exportfs -a

On the SGI, I've add to the /etc/fstab the line :
samy:/work /work nfs defaults 0 0

The directory /work is created on the SGI, and is in 777

Then I ran mount -a
I obtain this error :

mount: mount of samy:/work failed: Permission denied
mount: NFS version 3 mount failed, trying NFS version 2
mount: access denied for samy:/work
mount: giving up on:
/work

I've trying to reboot the 2 stations, but the problem still exists.

On the HP, the command : showmount -e returns :

export list for samy:
/work scoobidoo(rw)


Any Idea ?

Thanks in advance

is scoobidoo a known host to sammy? ie, is there an entry in /etc/hosts

 

[roadruner]

Yes it's a known host.
I've tried to specify the IP adress instead of the host name in the mount command, and the result is the same.

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago, and in my case it was down to one of the following processes not running on the nfs host:

/usr/sbin/rpcbind
/usr/sbin/rpc.lockd
/usr/sbin/rpc.statd
/opt/dce/sbin/rpcd
/usr/sbin/rpc.mountd

try a ps -ef and see if any are not running.

I've delete the export point and create it again, but with SAM utility, and now, all is running well

Thanks for your help
