Hi
I had the same problem (F11)
The cure for me was to ensure that the name of the local machine (naxos) is
available to "mount"
Putting the name in /etc/hosts on naxos does the job
naxos ~ 2# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 naxos
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
It is not good enough that hostname is set
My advice would be to reboot after adding the name to /etc/hosts
(assuming its missing) I wasted hours stopping and starting rpcidmapd type services
before discovering I had fixed the problem in the first 5 minutes
but that a clean restart was needed !
/etc/host.conf has changed in F11 I played with this as
well but don't think its relevant
multi on
order hosts,bind
---------------------------------------------------
In case the problem is on the server side (maui) Centos 5.3
my files look like this
maui.jaa.org.uk ~ 1# cat /etc/exports
/exports 148.197.29.0/24(rw,insecure,sync,wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,fsid=0)
/exports/global 148.197.29.0/24(rw,insecure,sync,wdelay,no_subtree_check,nohide,no_root_squash)
/exports/home 148.197.29.0/24(rw,insecure,sync,wdelay,no_subtree_check,nohide,no_root_squash)
----------------------------------------
maui.jaa.org.uk ~ 2# cat /etc/fstab
...
LABEL=global_maui /global ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=boot_maui /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
...
/home /exports/home none bind 0 0
/global /exports/global none bind 0 0
---------------------------------------
maui.jaa.org.uk ~ 4# cat /etc/auto.master
...
/home auto.home
/- auto.direct
--------------------------------------
maui.jaa.org.uk ~ 4# cat /etc/auto.home
#* -fstype=nfs 148.197.29.5:/exports/home/&
* -fstype=nfs4,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 148.197.29.5:/home/&
--------------------------------------
maui.jaa.org.uk ~ 5# cat /etc/auto.direct
#/global -fstype=nfs 148.197.29.5:/exports/global
/global -fstype=nfs4 148.197.29.5:/global
Note the # commented nfs3 lines
Hope this helps
