Here is my /etc/exports file for an example on my linuxbox:
/usr/ldata sgibox(rw,no_root_squash)
on the sgibox I have autofs running (chkconfig autofs on) and it mounts the
linux's /usr/data on /hosts/linuxbox/usr/ldata but I can mount it manually
onto the sgibox by typing on the sgibox:
mount linuxbox:/usr/ldata /usr/sdata
(note /usr/sdata on the sgibox is the mount point on the sgibox). If this
works, and you don't want to use autofs, then put the following into the
/etc/fstab (on the sgibox):
linuxbox:/usr/ldata /usr/sdata nfs rw,soft,bg 0 0
Some basics: have nfs service on on the linuxbox
do a 'exportfs -a' on the linuxbox
you can ping linuxbox from sgibox
look in the /var/log/message file on the linuxbox for authentication
problems when trying to mount the linuxbox from the sgibox. ummm cant think
of anything else, so I hope this helps.
Note: Irix 6.5.15 which uses nfs v3. Red Hat Linux 7.2 (i686).

You might want to pass on info from logs and such, but as a little test you
may want to try having it use nfs version 2 to see if it is a version
incompatibility.
mount -o nfsvers=2 server:/export_dir /import_dir
Note: some versions of nfs use different options (ie. vers instead of
nfsvers) so a man nfs may be in order.
Have fun,
