   Failure to mount remote NFS system   
   20 Jul 12 17:02:38   
   
   From: grimble@nospamthanx.net   
      
   Need help please with the following problem:   
   Machine B (Mandriva 2011, 32 bit) runs a Raid 5 array.   
   Machine M uses rsync to copy files to Machine B regularly, and I've   
   checked that it does so.   
   This machine, H (see below), is also Mandriva 2011   
   When I try to use MCC/Access NFS shared files etc, to connect to machine   
   B, I am offered the file system I want to connect to, but when I click   
   on "mount", I get a "mounting partition **** failed" message, and if I   
   try from the command line, I get   
   mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting   
   bach.gemmills.invalid:/mnt/raid   
      
   I have copied the appropriate line from M's /etc/fstab to H's.   
   /etc/hosts has the appropriate entries, and /etc/exports,   
   /etc/hosts.allow, /etc/hosts.deny are all OK.   
   Service nfs-common is running on H.   
   Suggestions welcome.   
   Thanx
