listing NFS shares on the command line

[Jza]

hi all anyone can answer me this doubt, I want to know what command line is used when mandriva looks for NFS servers in a network

 

when I go to mcc > mountpoint > NFS server > Search for Servers but from the command line

Im not sure how Mandriva do it (they seem to have a problem with nfs) but the correct way is

showmount <host>

 

obviously see man for more detailed instructions but I think this will return what you want :D

I never had an issue with mandriva NFS Server Search, I just want it to learn from the command line. You mentioned that I should use showmount [host] however this didn't seem to work. I got the following return:

$ showmount  -a 192.168.1.101
mount clntudp_create: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive

 

This is odd since I can mount using mcc and also I can ping the IP with no issue. Maybe it was because I didn't assigned a hostname.

# showmount -a 192.168.1.10

All mount points on 192.168.1.10:

192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0:/media/sda1

192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0:/media/sdb1

192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0:/media/sdc1

192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0:/media/sdc1/

192.168.1.11:192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

192.168.1.20:192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

192.168.1.2:192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

 

works for me , perhaps its hacked not to work in mandriva so you need to use the MCC?

# showmount -a 172.16.0.254
All mount points on 172.16.0.254:
*:/mnt/filedrive/file

172.16.0.51:172.16.0.0/255.255.255.0

works on my Mandriva LE 2005, so if JZA just cut and paste the coded portion, and that was the actual command, might be that it was only a typo error, like an additional space after the command showmount
