[ubuntu-users] NFS

[Ted Hilts]

I can't seem to get a NFS up and running.

There is a file "/etc/exports" and in that file "/media/dfc1...6cfe3". 
The part after the "/media/" is the disk ID.  Also, as sudo I created 
"/ted-nfs" as the mount point.  Then  I did the command "sudo mount 
192.168.1.15:/media/dfc1...6cfe3/ /ted-nfs" and the command  "sudo 
exportfs ra". I did not use the machine IP addres in the "/etc/exports" 
file but did use it in the command. All this occured on just one machine 
(192.168.1.15) and I have not got past this problem and have also the 
"clients" to worry about.

In the man NFS examples I tried all 4 examples but nothing worked. For 
example (not using "/etc/exports") I did the example:
"server:/export /mnt nfs defaults 0 0" by putting in the same server, 
the export mount, etc to get "192.168.1.15:/media/dfc1...6cfe3/ /ted-nfs 
nfs defaults 0 0"
which failed.  The error was just a list of options.

I think there must be something very basic that I have missed.
