I inherited a lab that has a few hundred hosts running FreeBSD 7.2. These hosts run test scripts that access files that are stored on FreeBSD 6.3 host. The 6.3 host exports a /data directory with NFS On the 7.2 hosts, I can see the exported directory: $ showmount -e 6.3-host Exports list on 6.3-host /data Everyone And access it with amd $ ls -l /net/6-3.host/data drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 512 Jun 4 2009 git drwxr-xr-x 4586 root wheel 83968 Nov 2 04:50 home I'm trying to retire the 6.3 host and replace it with 9.3 (I know it's old, but it's the best I can do for now). I export the /data directory on the 9.3 system, and I can see it on my 7.2 hosts. $ showmount -e 9.3-host Exports list on 9.3-host: /data Everyone But I can't automount it: $ ls -l /net/9.3-host/data ls: /net/9.3-host/data: No such file or directory If I manually mount the exported directory, it works: $ sudo mount -t nfs 9.3-host:/data /mnt/data/ $ mount | grep nfs 9.3-host:/data on /mnt/data (nfs) $ ls -l /mnt/data total 4 drwxr-xr-x 9 root wheel 512 Dec 20 17:41 iaf2 I've spent some time on Google, but haven't found a solution. I realize these are very old versions, but I'm not in a position to upgrade them right now. My last resort will be to use /etc/fstab to do the NFS mount, but I'd rather avoid that if I can. Thanks for any pointers on how to resolve this. -karl
