[CLUE-Tech] RE: Fedora Core 2 NFS server (mike havlicek)

[Mike Cotton]

Mike,

I am actually having a very similar issue that I am still working on.  My
version is a bit different and I may have found the solution for us.  The
FC2 box is using the updated versions of several packages and the autofs
package seems to be the one that may be causing the issue for us.  We are
automounting our shares through ldap and our shares are on an ESv.3 RH
server.  They work great with the FC1 boxen in our environment, but the FC2
boxes are really getting along to well.  We will try upgrading the autofs
rpms next week and if it is helpful to you I can report back how it goes.

Hi,

I have a Fedora Core 2 box that I wanted to allow nfs
mounts from a number of non Fedora boxes and have run
into some fun. Unfortunately I have lost the specific
errors given I was just trying to get the problem
relieved quickly. I have done some searching and it
seems to be a common problem getting the nfs-utils
package that comes with FC2 working. In fact I think
all references to solutions that I found from googling
had to do with FC2 to FC2 .... I am trying to mount a
volume from FC2 to Solaris 9 ...

I suspect the problem is related to the NFS V4 support
... not that important to me at this point given the
howto I found assumed that the client and server boxen
were FC2 ...

The "solution" I am working on now is to just install
the FC1 distributed version of nfs-utils (working for
this task).

Anybody encountered this and know how to configure the
NFS utils from FC2 for use with other client
platforms.
Its one of those things were I intended to get
something done quickly (here on the Solaris box) and
ended up opening Pandora's box:)
For now it is just an irritant for me. Another
unfortunate thing is that the bundled docs with the
RPM are pretty dated ....
