Hi,
If you're a little more generous with details I might be able to help.
Have you tried:
mount -t nfs <servername>:</some/mount> <localmount> -o
<some_options>
to make sure it works from the command line? I'm assuming it's an NFS share.
Does the SuSE have the correct IP address in the exports file to
allow the apple box permissions?
It looks like the apple machine just doesn't know what filesystem
it's supposed to be mounting. Try telling it with the -t option and it
should work.
Best regards,
-->Gar

Hi all
Sorry to be posting OT, but I was hoping thas someone out there might
know the answer to my question....
I'm trying to mount a remote directory on a Linux box running SUSE 9.1
in order to run a backup script I've written. Having added the
(apparently *NOT*) appropriate line to /etc/vfstab:
and as root doing
mount /mrbackup1
I get an error:
mount: /mrbackup1: unknown special file or file system.
For some (hopefully good) reason the same approach works from a SUN
station.....
Does someone know how I can make the mount/umount stuff work from 10.3.5?
Thanks in advance.
Steffen
