- Well, I'm told it ought to work, but it doesn't on mine either
- (By the way, I got my TCP/IP to go again by turfing the whole inet directory
- and grabbing the SLS tcpip.tar.Z ... yay ! - NFS is the only thing that
- doesn't work)
-
- I'll paste the results from the other VC (I *LOVE* those selection patches!)
-
- # mount fish:/usr /mnt
- nfs_fhget: getattr error = 13
- nfs_read_super: get root inode failed
- mount: Unknown error 26240
-
- So there you go...I've got an exports file (but you get the same error
- message even if the dir. wasn't exported...)
-
-
- Any ideas ?
-

-
- And MERRY CHRISTMAS to those for whom it applies,
- especially Linus and the other main men and women of the Linux world.
- At last ! I'm free of MSDOS ! (Well, almost...)

- Cos !
