I've been running OS Version: v2.06 08-2007 for some time now with no issues.
CIFS and FTP file transfers work great from my Gentoo Linux PC.

I have a need to export a NFS share now and have run into issues.
The server is setup to export NFS R/W and I am attempting to mount the share with the following command:
Code:
mount -t nfs naslite:/Disk-0 /mnt/nfs/naslite_disk0/

The following error is what is returned:
Code:
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting naslite:/Disk0


The syslog via HTTP view doesn't show any errors, and NFS displays as exported R/W
I have rebooted the Naslite server and read a lot of pages on NFS shares. I've set them up before and have never had these issues.

Any thoughts or suggestions on what I can try?

I can post more data if necessary - just let me know what you'd like to see.

Thanks!

naslite is entered in my hosts file and associated with the server IP --
I have tried using the server IP as well with the same error being reported -

Thanks, Tony.

I made a typo-o and have been trying Disk-0 -
I corrected the original post to reflect this.

The export path the Naslite server chooses isn't what you would think.

Code:
mount -t nfs naslite:/Disk-0 /mnt/nfs/naslite_disk0/

wouldn't work because the exported path to Disk-0 is incorrect

once I ran a showmount command I could see the actual path:
Code:
/usr/sbin/showmount -e naslite
Export list for naslite:
/export/Status *
/export/Disk-0 *


I then tried
Code:
mount -t nfs naslite:/export/Disk-0 /mnt/nfs/naslite_disk0/

and the NFS share mounted normally.

I'm not an expert with NFS and the diagnostic tools are all CLI based.
Having this documented somewhere would have been great.

Hope this can help someone else!

"Using the NFS Server" section of the manual covers that including the proper path.
