[Ltsp-discuss] NFS mount problems

[Asaf Maruf Ali]

The nfsd jobs are running. All 8 of them.   Infact, I am able to mount these from a normally booted linux system. The problem arises while trying to boot the diskless workstation using boot floppy.   In addition, I am encountering very strange problems with /tftpboot directory. Sometimes I can't access it, /ltsbin is never created and it is very difficult to rm this directory.   I am also having some mount problems on the server itself. A showmount -e once gave me the following error:   "rpcmount export: RPC: Unable to receive; errorno=connection refused.   I also get this error while booting the system.     Secondly, I wish to find out if the boot code i have downloaded to my floppy is ok. It boots, gets the IP from server, downloads vmlinux.rtl8139 (Realtek NIC) using TFTP, gives message of loading kernel and finally stops while trying to load NFS volume.   I hope the code i downloaded eb-5.0.3-rtl8029.lzdsk has the mount command to try load the NFS volume or what?       Any help would be appreciated.   Thanks in advance   Asaf Maruf Karachi
