In my experience it has to do with the way the permissions are set in
the exports file.  Look in /var/log/messages on the server machine and
see what it says.  if it has to do with permissions, the client has not
been given permissions to mount that directory in exports.

If you are still having problems, post your /etc/exports file and the
log messages from /var/log/messages and someon will most likely be able
to help

Also make sure /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd is running on the server.

It sounds like the server you are trying to connect to will not accept
nfs connections from your RH7.0 machine.  Check /etc/hosts.allow and
/etc/exports on the server, to make sure you 7.0 machines IP is listed.

As root, run modprobe nfs, and check it again.  It should be listed.  It
should be loaded automaticly when you mount a nfs directory.

You do not need nfs running on the client machine, just on the server.
So you do not need nfs running on the RH7.0 machine.  You do need nfs
support loaded.  (The nfs.o module.)

I think the people at [EMAIL PROTECTED] might have some ideas.  I think

I wouldn't say that it compares VERY poorly.  The 2.0 kernel is a lot
faster than it used to be.  The 2.2 kernel will be faster yet, probably as
good as anybody else.  Right at the moment I would probably say that
FreeBSD has a slight performance edge, but really ALL NFS clients are
pretty inferior when compared to Sun's.  So don't avoid Linux just for the
NFS performance.  Linux has a history of catching up pretty fast whenever
it lags behind in just about any area.  :)
