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?

I've got the apollo mounted on the sun... >2) the mount point already exists on the Apollo (I think the error >message is different for this though). Such is not the case. I'm wide-open for hints...
