I can't get my ppc64 installs to connect to my x86 nfs server. I've tried just about every option I can find and even tried some that are supposed to be defaults.

Here is my fstab:
Quote:
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/sda3 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
fangorn:/media/video/dvd /video nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,async,hard,nodev,nosuid,intr 0 0

When I restart portmap this is what I get:
Quote:
ibm_left / # /etc/init.d/portmap restart
* Saving portmap table ... [ ok ]
* Unmounting network filesystems ... [ ok ]
* Stopping NFS statd ... [ ok ]
* Stopping portmap ... [ ok ]
* Starting portmap ... [ ok ]
* Reloading portmap table ... [ ok ]
* Mounting network filesystems ...
mount.nfs: No such device
* Could not mount all network filesystems! [ !! ]

Is it telling me it can't find my x86 box, the path of the exported folder, or mount.nfs?

This is the exports file of the x86 box:
Quote:
# Example for NFSv2 and NFSv3:
# /srv/homes hostname1(rw,sync) hostname2(ro,sync)
/media/video/dvd ibm_right(rw,async,no_subtree_check)
/media/video/dvd ibm_left(rw,async,no_subtree_check)

I do have to say that /media/video is a mounted xfs partition on the pc, but I don't think that should matter. I don't think the difference in architecture should matter either. My forum and internet searches don't find anything that helps.

I presume trying to mount it manually gives the same error?

Try with `mount -v` for more output.

From the error you're getting, I would say the problem is either it can't reach the server (network issues) or the setup on the server is wrong.

Can you ping and ssh into "fangorn"?

What does `exportfs -v` and `netstat -nlp` on the server return?

Edit: Crossposting? Naughty!

"mount -v" result:
Code:
ibm_left greg # mount -v fangorn:/media/video /video
mount: no type was given - I'll assume nfs because of the colon
mount: trying 192.168.35.40 prog 100003 vers 3 prot tcp port 2049
mount: trying 192.168.35.40 prog 100005 vers 3 prot udp port 831
mount.nfs: No such device

I've been ssh'ing into the IBM boxes to set them up.(The IBM video cards aren't well supported)

"exportfs -v":
Code:
fangorn:/home/greg# exportfs -v
/media/video    ibm_right.ibm(rw,wdelay,root_squash,no_subtree_check,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534)

Everything appears to be okay from what you posted...

:?

What about iptables on the two boxes (client and server)?

Do you have NFS support enabled in your kernel on the client machine?

I'll have to double check the kernel config, but I would assume that I enabled it because I need it for my intended purpose for the machines. I plan to use them to convert video that will be on the PC. If all else fails, I do have a spare hard drive on one of the RS6000's. I could set the network file system on it instead.

Is it possible to set up nfs support as a module? Could having an old kernel (2.6.16) create problems?

Dunno. I use the same kernel version on both client and server.

Make sure you have client support in the kernel. With menuconfig, it's under "File Systems-->Network File Systems:
Code:
<*> NFS file system support                                     
    [*]   Provide NFSv3 client support                               
    [ ]     Provide client support for the NFSv3 ACL protocol extensi 
    [ ]   Provide NFSv4 client support (EXPERIMENTAL)                 
    [ ]   Allow direct I/O on NFS files

I'm an idiot. :roll:

Somehow I managed to leave out kernel support. Reconfiguring now...

I encountered this same error message today, however the system had been up for 6 months, and already had an NFS file system mounted (nfs v2 from OSX Server 10.4). I also didn't have NFSv3 support, but I should have had NFSv2 support. Did some user-land update remove NFSv2 support from the support packages, like portmap/nfs-utils?

I ran into an update for baselayout-1.12.10-r5 yesterday. It included an update for /etc/init.d/netmount. If you were using netmount to mount your nfs shares, that might have caused an issue. While running etc-update, I noticed it and it is quite heavily commented and had checks for portmap/nfs stuff. You may want to check there.
