Re: [gentoo-user] Mounting a Network Drive

Hi,

Oops! Sorry! Didn't completely read your message! I see you've started portmap and nfs, I'll shut up now. :-P

Hi,

The file name must be /etc/exports (with the s) for this to work.

Also, make sure you have nfs-utils installed and started (/etc/init.d/nfs start). This will start portmap, you need this too (should be taken care of by dependencies). Needless to day you need NFS server and probably NFS client support compiled in the kernel or as a module.

Then, run 'exportfs -arv', I find this is the best to use.

HTH,
Chris

Thanks Mike. I changed around a few things, but still am unable to get a response out of 'exportfs'.
Here is my /etc/export (changed slightly to match yours):

/export01 linna(rw,sync,no_root_squash)

Here is the output of 'rc-udpate -s' (to point out where nfs and portmap are):

            netmount |      default
                 nfs |      default
            nfsmount |
                nscd |
          ntp-client |
                ntpd |      default
             numlock |
             portmap |      default
             postfix |      default

Here is a 'ls -la' of my /export01 directory, what I am trying to make shared:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] export01 # ls -la
total 28
drwxr-xr-x   4 root root   4096 Jan 21 16:37 .
drwxr-xr-x  21 root root   4096 Dec 22 20:32 ..
drwxrwxr-x   3 root users  4096 Jan 21 16:37 Multimedia
drwx------   2 root root  16384 Dec 20 14:28 lost+found

When I type in 'exportfs -av' I get nothing in return. Another prompt pops up with no output from the command. =(

    Thanks for all the help!
