but now I am wondering where is that "/home " coming from? I didn't notice that before ...
It has to be there. That tells the nfs server what it should be sharing and to whom. See "man exports". I am wondering about why there is "live" in the hostname. Is that on a live boot? Do you have it backwards and you have the exports file on the client you're trying to mount on.
. The "live" is the result of a Fedora 30 L.live install which replaces a failed server. I should have some new drives when UPS gets here Monday and then I will start rebuilding from scratch. This has been a disaster, I rely heavily on that server and the latest back-up is no good, fortunately I still have some older stuff saved ... The disk quit spinning up to normal speed, sounded like cranking an engine with low battery. In desperation the last thing I tried was chilling it, it sounded better but still would not make full speed so it appears my data is lost.
Assuming you are trying to mount an external /home and the server is 192.168.2.128, the command on the client would be: mount 192.168.2.128:/home /home
. Adding to my misery, experimenting with some variations on the above suggestion it looks like I wiped out the home directory in my main computer, I am writing this on another one,your message disappeared and I had nothing to respond to. Home appears to have been replaced with the "etc,exports" from the server, not what I wanted to do! This computer, Fedora 30 also, works and the
temporary NF serer is still there so I will continue with this .
