mounting linux network drive

[leon]

Hi all,

I want to access a shared drive on my Linux fileserver from my Kubuntu workstation. The export file (etc/exports) on the server contains the following:
/home/development/ *(rw,no_rootsquash,async)

I try to access this drive from my workstation as follows:
sudo mount <server ip>:/home/development /mnt/development

but I get the following reply:
mount: <server ip>:/home/development failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

I cannot mount this drive as root (I need your help on this!!) but how do you mount a drive as a normal user. When I enter the mount command without "sudo" I get an error stating that only root can do that.

I have got samba running on the file server and the Windows users can access their file.

Regards

May be a simple typo:

Your version:

/home/development/[ ]*(rw,no_rootsquash,async)

My proposal:

/home/development/*(rw,no_rootsquash,async)

Thanks for your reply...

I got the following out of the link you have added and after I have executed the command everthing worked fine!

"Make sure that you have told NFS to register any changes you made to /etc/exports since starting nfsd by running the exportfs command. Be sure to type exportfs -ra to be extra certain that the exports are being re-read."
