hi
i m working as a linux administrator in a software comapny. i have a task to nfs configuration. i m using slackware linux. i configruation two nfs server and using static ip. i exported a directory such as /data in one nfs server1 and another is /tmp in nfs2 server. i want to configure such that when some directory or file will create in /data directory, the files will show the other nfs server /tmp dirctory and vice versa.
 
the configuration of two nfs server
one nfs server ip address is 192.168.1.1
#vi /etc/exports
   /data       192.168.1.2(ro,sync)
:wq
#exportfs -av
#/etc/rc.d/rc.nfsd restart

another nfs server is 192.168.1.2
#vi /etc/exports
/tmp       192.168.1.1(ro,sync)
:wq
#exportfs -av
#/etc/rc.d/rc.nfsd restart

then i have entry in first nfs server /etc/fstab file
192.168.1.2:/tmp  /data  nfs     defaults 0 0
:wq

then i entry in 2nd nfs server /etc/fstab file
192.168.1.1:/data /tmp nfs  defaults 0 0
:wq

after that i tried mount -a in 1st nfs server
it ran well. the file of 2nd nfs server show data directory.
but when i m running mount -a in 2nd nfs server, a error message is display
i.e. mount: 192.168.1.1:/data failed, reason given by server: Permission denied.


plz help me and give me any idea how to configure these two nfs server mapping each other.

Did /data dir exists on first server? if u are exporting the /data dir then it should be there.

If above is there then please check the syntax of /etc/exports ( there should be no space between ipadress and options ),

If it also works then r try to export the dir other than /data like try to export /home and check wheather its exported?
