</div>I think you mean that these are separate systems rather than<br>
partitions, so I probably can't help much with this as I don't have a<br>
network, so don't deal with network issues. But since I see you've<br>
posted this for the second time, I'll try to give you something.<br>

</div>Here you use directories, above you implied systems. For directories,<br>
just put entries in fstab using the UUID (blkid) so they are mounted at<br>
boot. Create mount points to use in fstab in /mnt.<br></blockquote><div><br>I have the correct entries in /etc/exports on the Fedora system and corresponding entries in /etc/fstab on the RedHat system. As I said I have successfully mounted directories to the RedHat system from a couple of other systems.<br>

</div>If the *directory* permissions to the file are not executable, you will<br>
not be able to read the contents, and thus the file will be unavailable<br>
to you.<br></blockquote><div><br>I made a mistake in the line that I typed above. Everyone could read and execute the files.

the -v option?<br></blockquote><div><br>There are no error messages on the RedHat system. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

</div>I think an alternative to the method you are using would be to use nfs,<br>

In your situation, I would do a lot of web searching. :-)<br></blockquote><div><br>The web searches all report the problems I am having, but I have found no solutions.<br><br>Thanks for your remarks. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
