    Nfs?!?

    I cant seem to get NFS to work between two suse 10.2 machines and a router/switch. There is connectivity, I can ftp. I want NFS to work and I am not seeing any benificial HOWTOs out there, it seems that it should just work. I have the server started, I have the client started, I have created a share but the one is oblivious to the other with respect to NFS.

    I know there are other things out there for file sharing but its NFS that i want to work. Any help appreciated.

    Do you have appropriate entries in /etc/exports? Read man 5 exports about this.

    Do you have appropriate entries in /etc/fstab? Read man 5 fstab about this.

    Note that SUSE may have higher level tools to hide these details from you. I don't know about those, but it's Linux so you should be able to set it up via exports and fstab.

    Also, once /etc/exports is changed, you have to do something to get it noticed. Maybe
    /etc/init.d/nfs reload
    or
    exortfs -arv
    Why I prefer GNU/Linux
