I am having a problem installing NFS on ISC 2.21. TCP is working fine and I want to mount a file system from another box running ISC 2.0.2. I should say that NFS installed ok, and initialized ok. I got all the correct responses that the manual says that I should have. This only happens when I try to mount a remote file system. Other clients can access these file systems, but they are currently running under 2.0.2. I have in my fstab file the following command: epca:/u /epca/u NFS,soft,rsize=4096,wsize=4096 I need the rsize & wsize (4096) entries because I have a 3COM card and the release notes say that I cannot use 8k buffers with this card. When this filesystem is mounted, I get the errormessage "Invalid fs type <NFS>". I have tried to mount it manually and I cannot get past this error. The /etc/exports file on the host has this machine listed for exporting. I am trying to move from 2.0.2 to 2.2 and am not having much success. Any help or direction can be directed to ellis@epca.wpg.com. All help/direction is appreciated. Ellis Carter

It sounds like you don't have NFS installed properly on the 2.2.1 box. (we have NFS working fine between 2.0.2 and 2.2, so I don't think that is the problem). I would try re-installing NFS to see if it clears the problem. One thing to check would be to run "strings /etc/mount | grep NFS" if you don't see several lines of output including an SCCSID for Lachman, at least this way you will know you have the correct mount command. >I have tried to mount it manually and I cannot get past this error. The other things you can try are: manually mount a local file system onto your own machine manually mount with just the NFS,soft type (yes that will be a problem if you ran the system that way, but at least you can see if you get past the mount) -- Conor P.
