I am getting this error when trying to mount my client on the directory I exported in Yast2 NFS Server?
Not sure why. trying to create nfs share.

When you do this, are you doing it from a terminal window?
If so, what error messages do you see?
You might also look at /var/log/messages to see what errors are reported
there.

I’d give it a try from a terminal window then to see what error messages
are generated by the mount command. Since the directories are in fstab,
you should just need to do:
mount /path/to/mount/point
(replacing “/path/to/mount/point” with the path you want to mount to.
Also open a second terminal window and become root (“su -” - then enter
the root password) and enter “tail -f /var/log/messages” - this will
show you the messages log while trying the mount - see what messages show
up there.

mount /home/bperrotta/nfs
mount.nfs4: DNS resolution failed for Suse11-Home: Name or service not known
linux-bma3:/var/log #
I want to mount the /Suse11-Home/home/bperrotta
on the local directory on linux-bma3 /home/bperrotta/nfs
linux-bma3:/var/log # mount /Suse11-Home/home/bperrotta /home/bperrotta/nfs
mount: special device /Suse11-Home/home/bperrotta does not exist
Also tried mount Suse11-Home.billdomain:/home/bperrotta /home/bperrotta/nfs
mount.nfs: mount to NFS server ‘Suse11-Home.billdomain:/home/bperrotta’ failed: timed out, giving up
I am logged in as root
/etc/exports on the server should be like this:
/home *(rw,root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)
/etc/fstab on a client should be like this:
ServerIPhere:/home /home nfs defaults 0 0
This comes from a working sitution.
it mounts with the ip address .
Unless I use a static address i guess I have to always remount. could add host name to /etc/hosts correct?
if I reserve an ip in on my router
this worked mount 192.168.15.3:/home/bperrotta /home/bperrotta/nfs

Yep, that’s correct - I’ve run into that one myself, and had suspected
that was your issue here.
