Hi SGIArtist,

I have no problems mounting NFS from shares from Ubuntu Linux on SGI machine.

I also have no problems mounting SGI IRIX based shares on Ubuntu Linux machines,

Problems with NFS are typically due to permissions/priviledge issues and making sure you NFS Client/Server will work across older / newer NFS versions.

As a starting point you should do:

1. chkconfig on your IRIX machine to make sure NFS enabled 
2. showmount -e 192.168.1.4 (your PI server) from your IRIX machine to verify if the exports are visible.

If they are then you will have to dig into permissions etc.
My advise is keep it really simple(as per of /etc/exports configuration) to start only then tighten it up if required.

Beware that NFS uses user ids and group ids to manage authorisation and if you have machines where the account id's are not managed with single directory then ensuring the permissions work gets pretty messing pretty quickly.

Good luck.
Please post diagnostics to get more specific guidance.

Cheers from Oz,


John.
