Hi. It looks to me as if /usr/src is only exported to hosts on the 192.168.0 network and not to hosts on the 127 network. Unless you alias localhost to the host address on the 192.168.0 network, then I don't think that this will work as you desire. ps -----Original Message----- From: linux-nfs-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-nfs-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bruce Dubbs Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2011 6:32 PM To: linux-nfs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: nfs server issues I am trying to document the installation of nfs for Linux From Scratch. The client works, but the server does not and I'm looking for some help. If this is the wrong place to ask for help, please redirect me. For now, I am only trying to get nfs version 3 to work. # mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=3 lfs6:/home/bdubbs /mnt/test [ mounts OK ] # mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=3 localhost:/usr/src /mnt/tmp # mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported Any pointers are appreciated.
