I would like some help to set up a 3 computer NFS network. I have the opensuse 11.0
Bible but try as I might reading the instructions I can get nowhere.
I have 2 desktop computers , An Amd Phenom quad core, And an Intel quad core,The last one is an Intel Lenover portable Intel duo core. They are connected to an trendnet TE100S5 which in turn is connected to my Globesurfer 7.2 Cell modem.
All 3 computers can use the Globe surfer, I have installed the NFS server on 1 computer and the clients on the others. I have used Yast2 server, and yast2clients, but when trying to set up the clients
using the choose function they cannot fine the server if I try to enter the details manually the error
is cannot open the f stab file.
I have deleted and reinstalled 3 times I have also tried without the globesurfer modem with the same results.
I have looked for suse 11.0 Kde 4.1 Howto’s but with no luck.
i would try the normal way by hand.
just edit the /etc/exports file the way you want, to start i would aadd line like
/foo/bar ALL(rw,sync)
telling that the folder /foo/bar should be exportet to anyone, and anyone should be able to read and write.
Restart your server with rcnfsserver restart.
After that you just mount the folders
Hello,
I’ve set up something similar using YaST to configure both the server and client. I think the default setting at the server sets up a “ro” or “read only” share. Change it to rw and it should work. Also, if you do not have all machines and hostnames setup within the “hostnames” portion of YaST, then you can always type in the IP of the NFS server.
hi to you both Sorry it has taken so long to come back, but the switch got screwed up in the process of the advice that was given.
No fault of yours.and it took me ages to work out what had gone wrong.
I deleted every thing I had done then started disconnected 1 at a time until the switch.
so needless to say I am no further forward, Still get the error unable to access the fstab. when I pluck up the courage to start I will include a copy of the fstab
