When I try to remote mount a partition which resides on my RS/6000 from another Unix system (I've tried this with our RT running AOS, another RS/6000, and with a PS/2 running AIX), I get: % mount ncgia1:/ncgia1/u1 /mnt mount: ncgia1:/ncgia1/u1: Out of remote working directories Can't mount ncgia1:/ncgia1/u1 on /mnt: I know the problem is on the RS/6000 side because I get the same thing from any machine I try. Apparently there is a maximum number of system to which an RS/6000 will allow its partitions to be remote mounted. Can I change this number? I certainly hope so! It's really small! What files do I need to change? How do I rebuild the kernel? Any help would be VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard A.

Id suggest following the list of topics under "troubleshooting NFS related problems" in info explorer. You will probably be using the rpcinfo and showmount commands the most to do most of the debugging. There is no limit to the number of clients that are allowed to mount. There is only a limitation to which clients can mount and what they can mount. See exportfs and related topics to exporting file systems. I'd suspect that the error message on your client system is not accurate. ********************************************************************* Rudy Chukran | EMAIL: IBM AIX Porting Center | RSCS: CHUKRAN at AUSTIN 11400 Burnet Rd. | AWDnet: rudy@chukran.austin.ibm.com Internal ZIP 2830 | internet: chukran@austin.iinus1.ibm.com Austin, Texas 78758 | Voice: 512-838-4674 Tieline: 678-4674 *********************************************************************
