Can you mount 10.5.107.20:/opt/ltsp/i386 from your desktop? I've seen this error once before, when I had a hard link between /opt/ltsp/i386 and /opt/ltsp.test/i386. Until I removed the hard links, I couldn't mount /opt/ltsp/i386. I'm not sure I understand why (it shouldn't matter), but it's something you might check. > Here's my /etc/exports file: > > /opt/ltsp/i386 > 10.5.112.0/255.255.255.0(ro,no_root_squash,sync) > /var/opt/ltsp/swapfiles > 10.5.112.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash,async) I would export /opt/ltsp/i386 ro,no_root_squash,aync. It's mounted ro, so there's nothing to sync. Although async shouldn't matter, there is anecdotal evidence that is gives slightly better performance. With /var/opt/ltps/swapfiles, a dropped UDP packet will corrupt your swap if you don't export it sync. I would change it to rw,no_root_squash,sync. -- David Johnston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Little Bald Consulting, LLC ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
