From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: Bad: When i try to share my tape drive DLTVS 80 on linux network using NFS then it gives /dev/st0: not a directory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nfs-utils-1.0.5-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mount -f nfs root@<IP Address of sharing server>:/dev/st0 <mount point> 2. 3. Actual Results: /dev/st0: not a directory Expected Results: mount /dev/st0 on the specified mount point Additional info:
I'm sorry, but this makes no sense at all. 1) you can't mount a char device on a mountpoint 2) even if you could, mounting a block device over NFS like this won't work 3) I'm not sure what the "root@" is supposed to mean here, but that's not valid syntax for a NFS mount either I'm going to go ahead and close this as NOTABUG. Please reopen if you have more info about why it is one.
