When i tried to mount the nfs i see this error message

Code:

mount -t nfs 192.168.20.194:/remote/proj1 /nfsmount
mount: 192.168.20.194:/remote/proj1 failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

and the /etc/exports file in the host side looks like this

Code:

/remote/proj1  192.168.20.194(rw,no_root_squash,sync)

not able to figure out what exactly need to be modified

It's clear from the /etc/exports entry. Is your server's IP 192.168.20.194?

Code:

/remote/proj1  192.168.20.194(rw,no_root_squash,sync)

With the above entry, you are allowing only the server to mount the nfs share. You have to put IP of the client there instead of the server's.

thats not the client's IP it is the IP address of the Host server.

Yes, I know that. You need to change that to the client's IP and your problem is solved. That field for any host's IP or hostname or a range of IPs of hosts which are allowed to mount the share. So change it to client's IP. for more info about exports file see "man exports".

Looks like your host-side (your server) exports a nfs share and allows the host-side (your server) to mount it.
Did you try to mount this share on the server? Probably you just need to run your command with root user or sudo?
Also check directory permissions!

The one line you posted (/etc/exports) may not be sufficient enough!
You may need to adjust the directory access permissions on server (/remote/proj1) as well as on the client side (/nfsmount).

Clear Understanding...
Server-A :
/remote/proj1 Server-B(rw,no_root_squash,sync)

Server-B:
mount -t nfs Server-A:/remote/proj1 /nfsmount

HI,
Another issue is I was trying to configure NFS on the servers. I'm using 2 HP servers with RHEL. i updated the /etc/exports directory with /sharing ipaddress/netmask(rw,sync,root_squash).

mounted it on the client server but I'm getting the following error:
mount: mount to NFS server 'ipaddress' failed: System Error: No route to host.

Please help me out.
