Description of problem: When trying to mount an NFS share from either Ubuntu-Dapper or Gentoo-Current (and perhaps others), I get this error: </mnt> [root@Orchestrator mnt]# mount 192.168.1.112:/pub/readonly nfs mount: 192.168.1.112:/pub/readonly: can't read superblock Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an NFS share on the Fedora server. 2. Issue the mount command as above on the client. Actual results: Share does not mount. See above. Expected results: Share should mount. Additional info:
can you post a binary bzip2 tethereal trace (i..e tethereal -w /tmp/mount.pcap host <server> ; bzip2 /tmp/mount.pcap)
Unfortunately, I deleted that partition :-(. Sorry I can't help. Has anybody else experienced this bug?
I have experienced the exact same scenario. I tried to open ports on the firewall for nfs, sunrpc, portmap, and several others, but it still did not work. I figured out that if I disable the FC5 firewall COMPLETELY, I can mount an NFS filesystem on another box. I think fedora could be made easier to use if the exact list of ports to open on the firewall were listed, or maybe the export GUI could be modified to do this for the user?
Note taken.... Having a GUI to set up NFS ports would be very good.... and will being to looking to it... But for know I will be closing this b....
