We have an ethernet with grian, a Sun 3/60 running 4.0.1, and ubhal, a MicroExplorer, connected via ethernet. We're trying to mount ubhal's file system on grian using a command something like: mount -t nfs ubhal:arkady2 /net/ubhal The disk on ubhal is arkady2 and you reference directories on ubhal as "ubhal:arkady2:foo". In other words there are two problems. One is that ":" is used as a separator between directories in the path name (as well as hosts). The second is that you don't start an absolute pathname with a ":" like you start one with a "/" on unix. When I do the above mount, I get the error message: mount: ubhal:arkady2 server not responding: RPC: Server can't decode arguments I'm not even sure what that means -- is it grian or ubhal that can't decode the arguments? I've tried a number of varitions including "mount -v -t nfs -o timeo=30 ubhal:/arkady2 /net/ubhal" which returned "mount: ubhal:/arkady2 on /net/ubhal: No such device" which isn't too surprising. Everything else I've tried, including putting :'s in with \'s, etc, returned the error message above. Has anyone mounted microexplorer file systems? How? What does your /etc/fstab look like??? Thanks for any help! - Liz Allen-Mitchell liz@grian.cps.altadena.ca.us ames!elroy!grian!liz
