How does this command: # mount_nfs -dis -g 8 -I 512 -R 3 -r 512 -w 512 solomon:/var/spool/uucp /solomon/uucp
not comply with the resulting usage complaint? usage: mount_nfs [-234bcdiLlNPsTU] [-a maxreadahead] [-D deadthresh] [-g maxgroups] [-I readdirsize] [-o options] [-R retrycnt] [-r readsize] [-t timeout] [-w writesize] [-x retrans] rhost:path node And yes, I really do want to set the read, write, and readdir sizes to 512 bytes (to get around a network packet-size problem to which I can find no other solution). The server is up: # ping solomon PING solomon (192.168.200.3): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.200.3: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=2.807 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.3: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=2.755 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.3: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=2.555 ms ^C --- solomon ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 2.555/2.706/2.807/0.109 ms and the mount point does exist: # ls -ld /solomon/uucp drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jul 4 18:34 /solomon/uucp # uname -a FreeBSD fbsd70.uucp 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 I get the same behavior, with a very slightly different usage message, from a 6.1 system. The server is an ancient sun3 running SunOS 4.1.1-U1, but it looks as if the mount attempt is not getting far enough for that to matter. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
