I have a working nfs share on a linux (RH 7) box that is mountable from
another linux server (ie it works I can read and write)

When I try to mount it from the Sco 5.04 box I get an error:
mount: invalid fs type <NFS>

Any Ideas

Thanks
Brian

Assuming you have either the Desktop or Enterprise version of SCO OS
5.0.4, what if you fire up "netconfig" and check if NFS appears among
the list of supported network protocol ?

If not, try by adding it, relink the kernel and reboot the system.

Best,
Roberto

Brian,

could you show us the exact syntax of the mount command you issued to
mount the remote share ?

Thanks,
Roberto

Roberto,

command:
mount -f NFS rama:/home/bbxshare /mnt
result :
mount: invalid fs type <NFS>

use 'nfs', not 'NFS'.

Brian,

if memory serves, when you issue the "mount -f NFS .." (NFS, under SCO
OS5, __must__ be uppercase), the "frontend" mount locates the NFS mount
under /etc/fscmd.d/NFS.

What if you switch under /etc/fscmd.d/NFS ?

Do you "see" the "mount" command from there?

Best,
Roberto

I reinstalled NFS in scoadmin - networking - protocols -rebuilt the kernel
and restarted.
Now its working.

Thanks
