I can't seem to get a NFS share to mount

Asked by tadiv

I'm new to nfs and am trying to mount /home from my main machine onto another machine that is on the LAN. Since /home is its own drive on the main machine, it has an /etc/fstab entry on that machine. When I try to mount on the other machine I get the following error...

tadiv@tadiv-desktop-TVRoom:/mnt$ ls
mainpc
tadiv@tadiv-desktop-TVRoom:/mnt$ sudo mount 192.168.1.5:/home /mnt/mainpc
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.1.5:/home

I do have the nfs-kernel-server package loaded on the main machine (192.168.1.5) - any suggestions? I can supply any files that will help...

Thanks,
Tom

It seems that I needed an entry in /etc/exports on the main machine... With that done and a restart, it's working.
