Re: Mount from Linux to asp02

Thanks Rob,

Getting closer.

STRNFSSVR *ALL has been run and the NFS Servers are active.

I noticed in job QNFSRPCD the following message;
An incorrect transport entry was found in the /etc/netconfig file.

The help on this message referred to error number 3420 (CPE3420) which
says; Address already in use.

Possibly this is my problem ???

The contents of the /etc/netconfig file;
************Beginning of data**************
#/etc/netconfig
#flags (valid values - V or N)
#netid type flags family protocol
tcp TPI_COTS V inet tcp
tcp_ord TPI_COTS_ORD V inet tcp
udp TPI_CLTS V inet udp
************End of Data********************

No errors were found in any other NFS jobs

I used the export command as follows from your example;

EXPORTFS OPTIONS('-I -O') DIR('/asp02')

The command completed successfully

/asp02 is a directory created in ASP 2

On the Linux box I entered the mount command; (I will use a DNS name once
I get it working - for the moment I want it as simple as possible :-) )

root@BAK1:~# mount -t nfs <IP-Address>:/asp02 msdtest
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting <IP-Address>:/asp02

I also tried specifying the udfs device as follows with same result
mount -t nfs <IP-Address>:/dev/qasp02/qasp02.udfs msdtest

If I run the STATFS command i can see the mounted file system information
- I have included the details below;

The directory \asp02 has *PUBLIC *RWX access


Appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks

Here is your problem:
<snip>
I have shared the directory through System i Navigator as read only.
</snip>

That shares it for a totally different approach that what you are doing.
You have to export it, not share it. And since IBM already used the
EXPORT command in binder language you will have to use the EXPORTFS
command (export file system).

I use NFS between systems. Some do mounts, some do exports. EXPORTFS is
much simpler than all the options on MOUNT.
EXPORTFS OPTIONS('-I -O') DIR('/xyz')
Basically that exports (shares) my '/xyz' directory
Then the client system does a mount on it.
MOUNT TYPE(*NFS) MFS('gdihq:/tmp') MNTOVRDIR('/gdihq/tmp') +
OPTIONS('rw,suid,retry=5,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,timeo=20,retrans=5,

+
acregmin=30,acregmax=60,acdirmin=30,acdirmax=60,soft,async,

+
sec=sys,vers=3:2,nocache')

It's imperative that both systems (in an IBM i world) preceed these
commands with STRNFSSVR. I use STRNFSSVR *ALL.
