[comp.sys.apollo] More fun with NFS

jwm@SUN4.JHUAPL.EDU (James W. Meritt) (04/17/91)

	I have installed domain NFS on a DSP3500.  I've managed to
mount // onto a Sun 3/60 running sunos release 3.5.

And got it to work!

Now to the next fun part.  I'm trying to mount the Sun onto the
DSP3500.  I've made the /etc/exports file on the sun to read:
......................................................
/usr2/tea/jwm -access=eagle.jhuapl.edu
......................................................
(that is my home directory, and eagle is the name of the DSP3500.

I issued:
/user/jimm>/etc/mount -o soft sun4:/usr2/tea/jwm //eagle/local_user/jimm

(...jimm is my home directory on eagle)

and got this error message:
mount: nfsmount returned in error

Which (no suprise) is not one of the error messages in appendix D...
as far as I can tell.....

I feel triumphant getting the // mounted onto sun4 (the sun), especially
considering what appears to be non-unique problems, but I would really
like to go both ways...

Suggestions?

Two possibilities, the first being by far most likely:

1) you must tell mountd to use the '-n' option in sun4:/usr/etc/inetd.conf
since Apollo NFS can not use privileged ports.

2) the mount point already exists on the Apollo (I think the error
message is different for this though).

mountd doesn't have the -n option, nor is there a sun4:/usr/etc/inetd.conf
file (3.5 OS)  Does this mean the sun will not mount on the apollo?  I've
got the apollo mounted on the sun...

Such is not the case.

I'm wide-open for hints...
