Hi!

Two people were kind enough to respond.

Yes, I did.

Yes.

Yes, I could.

I have no idea what the problem was, but I unshared everything, stopped all
the processes, restarted everything, and shared everything again, and it
worked!

My original post follows.

Thanks to john and Casper Dik!

I have two machines NFSclient and NFSserver. I tried to mount a directory off
of NFSserver onto NFSclient.

On the server, I put the directory into /etc/dfs/dfstab, then, "sh
/etc/init.d/nfs.server start"

dfshares shows the resource being shared,

But when I go to the client and
NFSclient# mount /x/y
nfs mount: NFSserver: NFS service not responding
nfs mount: retrying: /x/y

dfmounts on the server still shows that the client is mounting.

Things used to be fine with the same procedure before I installed the
following patches on my Ultra (2.5.1)

NFSserver# showrev -p

So what's going on?

Thanks,
