Hi Team,
I have made (Centos) NFS server.
but at client side when i entered mount 192.168.57.123:/data/notes/ /linuxnfs/ command i am facing below error. please tell me where i have to do changes


root@premnath-desktop:~# mount 192.168.57.123:/data/notes/ /linuxnfs/
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.57.123:/data/notes/

my /etc/exports on server(192.168.57.123) is like
/data/notes *(rw)

Did you started portmap and nfs services?

yes, i have started both services on server and also client site.

Here's a line from my fstab file. Maybe it will help you.

10.1.0.5:/media/storage/video /media/video nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nosuid,soft 0 0

Yes, you need to start portmap and nfslock services on the client too. What is the output from the following

Code:

showmount -e 192.168.57.123

Make sure firewall is not blocking connection and port. And finally run the mount command as follows to get more info:

Code:

mount -v 192.168.57.123:/data/notes/ /linuxnfs/

Also, check NFS server log files in /var/log/ directory.

Beware if you have a host with 2 NICs.

By using the -v option of mount I discovered that the host was trying to contact the nfs server by using the IP address of one of the NICs that was not included in /etc/exports. Include both NICs in /etc/exports and try again.
