You seem to be VERY new to the list, according to the timestamp on your message - Mon, 27 Apr 2037 is a wee bit into the future... Can I borrow your time machine for a minute, I will just use it to prove that I invented it earlier :) Please fix your clock.

If you read the Diskless-HOWTO, there is an explanation on NFS error numbers - 13 means permission denied. The longer explanation is that it is usually sent by rpc.mountd on the request for the root directory handle. The most popular reasons for this are that your server is unable to resolve the hostname of your client (most mount daemons insist on getting a reverse lookup - fix your DNS server or your hosts file) or that you simply don't export the filesystem to your client. > I also made a bootdisk for my Diskless Computer according to the HOWTO.

Should. Have you double-checked that? Exporting to all is bad style however. > I copied the whole Root-FS of a Diskette-Distribution of Linux > (Pocket-Linux) to this directory. There are numerous ways of copying files around making them totally useless - are the permissions and uid/gid values still what they have to be? > I am able to mount this directory from the NFS-server. Really? From a machine with the _same_ IP number as your want-to-be client? The roots of the Diskless-HOWTO are quite old by modern standards (though it is definitely not outdated or wrong), so you might also be interested in looking at http://www.ltsp.org/ HTH =========================================================================== This Mail was sent to netboot mailing list by: Klaus Espenlaub <espenlaub@informatik.uni-ulm.de> To get help about this list, send a mail with 'help' as the only string in it's body to majordomo@baghira.han.de.
