I need to mount from one machine to another.
How would I "export" a folder so on the other machine i could mount to it? Both machines are sparc runnning solaris 2.8.
thank you
 
On the 'server', use "share".
Then, on the 'client', use "mount". One by one, the penguins steal my sanity. X-)

 
On the system where you want to export the folder, put an entry into /etc/dfs/dfstab
file for the filesystem you which to share. Then use " shareall " to share it.
On the other system you should be able to mount it:
mount <system>:/filesystem <mountpoint>
 
Ho 1st you have to make an entry in /etc/dfs/dfstab file like (suppose you want to export oracle file system)
share -F nfs -o rw /oracle

now go to /etc/init.d
./nfs.client start
./nfs.server start
now
use the folowing comand
#shareall
or #share /oracle

now from the other server
#mount <remote server hostnameor Ip>:/oracle /<mount point>
(mount -F nfs )try this also.

thanks
