Mounting an NFS directory in /etc/fstab
Posted by DK907 on 2011/12/2 21:04:10
I am studying for the RHCSA exam and I am trying to mount an NFS directory at boot.
I resolved my ip address to david.example.com in /etc/hosts and I entered /shares *.example.com(rw,sync) in /etc/exports and entered exportfs -a. I entered
in /etc/fstab.
When I restart it takes longer than normal to boot up and when I check the boot messages it says mount.nfs connection timed out. When I enter mount -a it does mount /shares on /mnt/nfs.
I tried editing /etc/sysconfig/iptables and I added
I did service iptables restart and it restarted without any problems but when I restart I still have the same problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions?.
