[ale] Mounting Digital Unix Directory

[sdl at inet-systems.net (steve lockhart)]

Hello,
        I've got a small problem with nfs mounts. I have 2 Linux boxes,
Redhat 5.0 that I just installed a few months ago and an unkown
Slackware box that some one else installed last year. I'm trying to
mount a Digital Unix directory, not an entire filesystem, to either of
the Linux boxes and can't get it to work. It reports "host xxx not
responding, still trying". I'm using: mount -t nfs xxx:/usr/users/sdl
/mnt/users/sdl.

Funny thing is I can mount a dir from a Solaris 2.6 server to the Linux
boxes using this same sort of setup. And even worse, the Solaris server
can mount from the Dec box. It seems to be an incompatibility between
Linux and Dec Unix.  I don't see any switches in the mount command that
would affect this. Has anyone else seen this before?

Thanks

Steve Lockhart
