NFS BETWEEN SOLARIS & LINUX

NFS BETWEEN SOLARIS & LINUX


If you receive error messages such
as "unknown version" when attempting to
mount a Linux based NFS server from
Solaris, you probably have an
incompatibility between the NFS versions
running on both of them. Linux uses
version 2, while Solaris uses version 3.
In order to get the machines to
communicate, you have to use the vers
option on the Solaris machine as follows:

mount -o vers=2 nfsserver:/remotedir /localdir
