NFS problems in FC2?

[Charles Layno]

I have a fresh FC2 install and I am trying to mount to an NFS on my RH 7.3 
file server. Under FC1 I had no trouble mounting to it, but now I get "mount to 
NFS server 'file' failed: server is down." The server isn't down because I 
can get other Linux boxes with other distros to mount with no problem.

Is anyone else have a problem or is there something different that has to 
be done in FC2?

Is your FC2 machine trying to use a dialect of NFS that the server on 
the RH7.3 machine doesn't recognize (e.g. NFS-4)?

I guess that is possible. Is there a way to specify which version to use 
since I am sure the RH 7.3 doesn't have NFS-4 on it.

Thanks

Hi Charles.

Man is your friend...

man mount (search for Mount options for nfs)

nfsvers=n

You can use this in the options section of your mount command. Check out the
other options, there are quite a few.

I had never used the nfsvers command before so it threw me for a loop. When 
you said it, the bells went off. Thanks!
