Code:
grep NFS_CLIENT_VERSMAX /etc/default/nfs
#NFS_CLIENT_VERSMAX=4 --> its commented out..

i downloaded FreeNAS and installed it in vmware and i already have another vmware session running with solaris 10.

To my understanding.. we can add or remove data into nas box right?
so to test that i have already created a text file in my nasbox:/mnt/volume1
and in solaris end i tried to mount /export/home/data into nas but its throwing error..

Like said.. i am completely ignorant of solaris side setup. all i did is my few nfs services were disabled and rpc services were also disabled. so i enabled them. and /nfs/server service was not coming up even when i tried to enable it . and then i read from a book that to make it come up you have add an entry in dfstab..


so this what i did..

Code:
# cat /etc/dfs/sharetab
/export/home/data       -       nfs     rw


# cat /etc/dfs/dfstab

#       Place share(1M) commands here for automatic execution
#       on entering init state 3.
#
#       Issue the command 'svcadm enable network/nfs/server' to
#       run the NFS daemon processes and the share commands, after adding
#       the very first entry to this file.
#
#       share [-F fstype] [ -o options] [-d "<text>"] <pathname> [resource]
#       .e.g,
#       share  -F nfs  -o rw=engineering  -d "home dirs"  /export/home2

share -F nfs -o rw /export/home/data
#

yes, you can add remove data into your freenas box! ;-)
normaly if you use a solaris-box as a client, you have nothing to do/configure to mount a simple nfs share.
you have to modify the dfstab-File only if your Solaris-box has to be configured as a Server and not a Client!

/etc/dfs/dfstab = /etc/exports (in Linux)

normaly you have to do this steps:
- configure the freenas and create a NFS share
- mount it from a solaris-client with mount -T nfs <ip:/share> /mountpoint

one thing that you have to check is that your Server and Client uses the same NFS Version. But normaly if they use a different nfs-version you see the share but cannot mount...

as i can see on your outputs you don't see the nfs share!

another stupid question :-)
can you ping each other??
from the solaris-client --> ping <freenasip>
