Linux – NFS host is not exporting the “share”

linuxmountnfsredhat

I have a NFS Server: usanfsd01 And a remote machine: usafssd01

I tried mounting a directory from usafssd01 onto usanfsd01 by adding the following line to /etc/fstab as root 

usanfsdo1:/home/dblogs /home/data/dblogs  nfs    rw  0  0

And when I run the following command to see if NFS is exporting the share, it's not shown

showmount -e usanfsdo1

Can someone please help? Also, a point of interest would be there is another mount that works on the same servers and thats defined as below in the /etc/fstab 

usanfsdo1:/home/files /home/data/files  nfs    rw  0  0

/etc/exports

/nfs/home/dblogs 'IPADDRESS'(rw,no_root_squash)

I assume the spelling mistake is just here, and not in /etc/fstab, but I will point it out anyway. You say the servername is usanfsd01, but in /etc/fstab you have added usanfsdo1. The letter 'O' vs. the number '0'.

Since you are exporting /nfs/home/dblogs you need to changed your entry in /etc/fstab to something like this:

usanfsdo1:/nfs/home/dblogs /home/data/dblogs  nfs    rw  0  0

Make sure this is correct, and then run the following command to mount the NFS-directory

# mount -a

or

$ sudo mount -a
