Hello.
I've been racking my brain all week on this one so I don't know what the problem is.
Okay so I've got NFS configured properly on my Slackware Linux box (based on the Linux-NFS-howto directions).
Now from my Powerbook I do CMD-K and type in: nfs://linuxbox/path/to/nfs/export
The Powerbook then replies with: error= -36
What does this mean?
I tried to mount the nfs export at the terminal with:
mount_nfs linuxbox:/path/to/nfs/export /powerbook/mount
I get this message:
mount_nfs: /powerbook/mount: Protocol not supported
Does anyone know what's going on here? This use to work fine on my old RedHat system, I thought this would go more smoothly with Slackware being more 'unix-like'
All help is appreciated.
Both Slackware and Red Hat are 'unix-like' (as is Mac OS X)... the main differences are the startup scripts and tools for configuration.
Try:
mount_nfs -P linuxbox:/path/to/nfs/export /powerbook/mount
If you still have problems... you can check what the command 'rpcinfo -p' gives you on both systems. On the Linux box check the exports with:
cat /proc/fs/nfs/exports
which should give you a list of systems exported to. You may also have the command 'nfsstats' (though that is more for performance measurement.) Also what does your /etc/exports file look like?
