There I was. Happily, doing all this web-work through a NFS mounted directory on
my BSDI machine when the next day there were all these error messages on my
console. One of the last, that arises from the
mount -t nfs -v -o soft, intr hobbes:/gopher_archives /gopher-nfs
command in the rc.local file is: "Mount: Can't get net id from host"
The gopher/web archives are loaded onto the Novell server, hobbes, through
the NFS mount. However, now, when I do a df to show mounted devices, Gopher_archives
is missing from the listing.
Trying to access the gopher-nfs directory in unix just gives me a "permission
denied".
Now, I don't know alot about NFS. I just inherited this system. From reading the
man pages it seems like a etc/exports file and /etc/fstab file are important
elements in this system. Well, my fstab file doesn't list any information about
gopher_archives file system and I don't have a etc/exports file. I don't know
whether they were there before these problems.
Is an entry in fstab and "existing" exports file required? If so, Somebody was
playing with my system. Hope you can help.
