Hi to all. I am trying to set up an nfs mount between two vservers on two different physical servers. I added the following line to '/etc/vservers/nfclient/fstab.remote xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/home /mnt/nfserver nfs defaults,rw 0 0 On the nfs vserver I added this directory to '/etc/exports', next ran the 'exportsfs -a' command. I started the portmap service and bound it to the vserver's IP address by adding 'OPTIONS="-i yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy"' to its configuration '/etc/sysconfig/portmap' file. Next I downloaded and installed the unfs v3 from 'http://unfs3.sourceforge.net/'. Here is what I am getting when I ran 'rpcinfo -p yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy': program vers proto port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100024 1 udp 857 status 100024 1 tcp 860 status 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs 100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs 100005 1 udp 2049 mountd 100005 3 udp 2049 mountd 100005 1 tcp 2049 mountd 100005 3 tcp 2049 mountd But whenever I try to restart the client server at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx the restart is hanging a while and after that I am getting the following error: mount: yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:/home: can't read superblock /etc/vservers/nfclient/fstab.remote:1:1: failed to mount fstab-entry Am I missing something? Can anyone help me with this issue?
