Output of dmesg | grep nfs ? If you're concerned that either the nfs server(s) or the automatically mounted fstabs aren't working, that would be the place to start. In general, the diagnostic process should be finding the smallest situation in which you can reproduce the problem and seeking to solve it in that instance, then rebuilding from there.

More to clarify here,

I am are trying to simply mount file systems over the net.

This is what I would like:

Set up hard mounts in the fstab, & have these correctly mounted when ever we boot the machines.

Now, unfortunately, something is screwed up in the mounting process, but I do not know what. I seem to have to boot and reboot numerous times, back and forth, before the mounting properly takes place. It's as if a system process is not turned on, and when it fails it locks out any mounting from other computers,
even though officially they are supposed to be able to mount those files.

These command lines here probably can go into a boot startup script,

/etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start

but I am not sure which. I don't think these commands are not the problem,

thanks again to all,

D

Thanks to all who responded. This Fish app is great. Unfoutunatelly, I still ran into the same problem. I must apologize for leaving out some additional information here.

The kernel version of the machine that I am having problems with is 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL smp #1 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64. When I bootup and login to the computer, directories\folders from other various linux computers are mounted In a directory call (for example) Resinfo. So from my computer, if I CD into Resinfo, I should be able to see a list of all the other computers with their mounted Resinfo folder\directory, so for example, if I have linux boxes apples, oranges, banana, and berries, I can be sitting at berries, ssh into apples, CD to apples Resinfo directory\folder do an ls and see its files and mounted folders\directories of oranges and banana. In this case, when I ssh from berries to apples, CD to apples Resinfo folder\directory and do a ls.I get nothing, just the [EMAIL PROTECTED] prompt, no list of files or directories or folders.

hope this helps & thanks.

If you're trying to ssh to a remote box to find a file, and then you're using scp to copy that file, you can combine these two steps using "fish".

On the local machine, open a konqueror browser window and type in the url "fish://[EMAIL PROTECTED]". It will open a file browser that uses SSH to browse and transfer files. It's a handy little utility.

As far as I know, it's only supported by konqueror.
