NFS : trouble mounting

[Fredvs79]

I'm trying to mount a network drive, but can't.

fred@600m-laptop:/media/OneTouch4 Plus$ sudo mount 192.168.1.134 /mnt
mount: mount point /mnt does not exist

fred@600m-laptop:/media/OneTouch4 Plus$ sudo mkdir /mnt
mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt': File exists

fred@600m-laptop:/media/OneTouch4 Plus$ ls -l / | grep mnt
ls: cannot access /mnt: Permission denied
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? mnt

fred@600m-laptop:/media/OneTouch4 Plus$ sudo rm -rf /mnt
rm: cannot remove `/mnt': Permission denied

fred@600m-laptop:/media/OneTouch4 Plus$ sudo rmdir /mnt
rmdir: failed to remove `/mnt': Device or resource busy

fred@600m-laptop:/media/OneTouch4 Plus$ sudo /etc/init.d/portmap stop
* Stopping portmap daemon... [ OK ]

fred@600m-laptop:/media/OneTouch4 Plus$ sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server stop
* Stopping NFS kernel daemon [ OK ]
* Unexporting directories for NFS kernel daemon...[ OK ]

fred@600m-laptop:/media/OneTouch4 Plus$ ps -ef | grep mnt
fred 782 32252 0 14:35 pts/0 00:00:00 grep mnt

Seems like nothing is using /mnt, but I still can't remove it, and I still can't mount to it because mount doesn't see it.
Suggestions? any ideas?

First thing i noticed. When mounting a nfs share you need to specify the full path of the exported directory.

You wrote: mount 192.168.1.134 /mnt

This needs to be more like ~# mount 192.168.1.134:/path/to/exports /mnt

(if this doesn't help)

the mount command shows currently mounted filesystems

~# mount

if something is mounted in /mnt

~# umount /mnt

or try

~# mount -a



Hope this Helps!

still having problems,

I've tried

sudo mount 192.168.1.134:share /mnt

and I still get the error.
Nothing is mounted in /mnt currently

SOLVED!


It needs to be of the form

$ sudo mount host:path path

In my case it was
$ sudo mount 192.168.1.134:/share /mnt

(I was missing the :/share)
