How to nfs mount with Redhat Linux
*** I also posted this in the Unix general forum, but would like to get the Linux point of view. ***
Hello all -
I've searched this forum, but was unable to find out the info I need.
I'm trying to mount (nfs mount) a directory on another box from my Linux machine.
The mount point resides on a Tru64 digital unix machine. The machine trying to do the mount is a Linux machine (redhat 8.0).
I'm having a hard time getting the point mounted.
More specifically - I get the error:
mount RPC timed out
This is how I think it's supposed to be done:
Tru64 machine:
In /etc/exports you must make an entry to allow exporting of file:
/usr/some_file IP ADDRESS
Linux machine:
In /etc/fstab you must make an entry:
IP ADDRESS:/usr/some_file /my_dir nfs
Could someone shed some light on the problem?
I believe that all the necessary daemons are started.
Thanks!

mount.nfs
MOUNT.NFS(8) System Manager's Manual MOUNT.NFS(8)
NAME
mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System
SYNOPSIS
mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options]
DESCRIPTION
mount.nfs is a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality.
mount.nfs is meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone
command with limited functionality.
remotetarget is a server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share. dir is the directory on which the file system is to be
mounted.
Under Linux 2.6.32 and later kernel versions, mount.nfs can mount all NFS file system versions. Under earlier Linux kernel versions,
mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs must be used for NFSv3 and v2.
OPTIONS
-r Mount file system readonly.
-v Be verbose.
-V Print version.
-w Mount file system read-write.
-f Fake mount. Don't actually call the mount system call.
-n Do not update /etc/mtab. By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip making
an entry.
-s Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail.
-h Print help message.
nfsoptions
Refer to nfs(5) or mount(8) manual pages.
NOTE
For further information please refer nfs(5) and mount(8) manual pages.
FILES
/etc/fstab file system table
/etc/mtab table of mounted file systems
