** NFS Mount - reason given by server: Permission denied

[nohacks]

Hi All,

I am new to Linux.

I have two machines running Debian, works great...

Machine A has 2 drives
Machine B Client

I have a mount from
machine->b to
machine->a working great.

I get the following message when I try to mount
machine->b to
machine->a second drive..


mount.nfs: 192.168.25.11:disk2 failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

I put the drive name in the etc/exports
then rebooted.

Any Help out there?

Thanks
Phil

execute the exportfs command in the server, and you should see the partition and IP of the client....

else you are not following the right procedure ??

do an exportfs, and get back to us.

Just checked this and founf no reply .. so thought of replying.

I faced a similar issue today and found that the my ip in the /etc/exports was incorrect. Thats can be seen using exportfs -arv and also make sure if you are using DNS then the names are mapped right. The best option is to use the ip of the host u want to mount the share on. this sounds cliche per the comment above .. but was worht mentioning,
