Mounting NFS

Posted:
in Genius Bar edited January 2014
OK, I'm stumped.

I am trying to figure out how to mount a NFS volume (from a Solaris box).

My sys admin has assured me that he has given my computer permission to mount specific folders from our Solaris box (I do have permissions, that is verified).

Everytime I try to mount (via go->connect to server->nfs://ip_address/full-path-to-folder) it just times out with no warning or anything.



Am I doing something wrong?



Thanks for any help ya'll can give.

    Try in the terminal

    %mount_nfs remote_hostath

    but of course you can allways look at the man pages

    %man mount or

    %man mount_nfs

    Good luck

    Thanks for the help.

    We figured it out a few minutes ago. The sysadmin had set up permissions incorrectly.

    Thats why I was unable to mount the nfs share.
