You can type "man automount" and "man automountd" to get started understanding the automounter as implemented on HP-UX. You really will need a fairly good understanding of NFS to be able to understand the automounter.

Please run the following command on both machines and post the output:
Code:
df -k

Also, do you beleive that /net should be the same flie system on both hosts?

Ok, did the dt -k command

On one workstation, (called lowlife), the directory on the remote machine I am trying to view is listed and the total usage is 75% etc + other stuff is shown, as I would expect.

when I do the same command on the other machine, (sausage), for the same directory. it shows the directories but lists them as 0% used, 0% available etc. Everything 0% - even though they are not!!

What about this:
Type mount. It should show you a list of mounted filesystems. Is that directory in the list? If so, is it mounted the same place as the working servers?

Question
Hmm curious and curiouser!!

I did the mount command.

The working directory is mounted in
/tmp_mnt/net/remotedirectory

The non working directory is mounted in
/net/remotedirectorey
- no tmp_mnt

This has something to do with the automounter doesn't it?
On lowlife in the net directory there is a link called the remote host linking to /tmp_mnt/net/remotedirectory

On the sausage there is no link just a directory called the remote host.

Does this mean anything, it is the only difference I can find between the two machines.

Oh by the way sorry for using "remote host" instead of the actual name I cant really say what it is. Confidential you see!! Might get in trouble!

I have tried to create a link in the net directory of sausage but this cannot be created for some reason.

I might have found a possible cause!!

It turns out the patch levels of the NFS server, the remote host directory are lower than the machine I am using to connect too. This is causing incompatabilities between the two!

I think the problem is sorted!!

cheers everyone for your help!

try the command

showmount -e remotehostname

(where remotehostname is ............the Remote Hostname!!)

this will show which directories have been exported by the remote host. If you don't see anything, check to see if nfs.client is running on you system:

if not, start nfs client daemons

/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start
