Mageia forum

I'm running Mageia with Virtualbox Mageia guests, usually all updated to the latest of everything. This far I've shared directories between the host and the guests with NFS. In M5 I was able to create the shares with MCC. In M6 the same MCC NFS setup did not work. (But I was able to get them to work by setting them up with Webmin. In M7 neither of these ways work.) When trying to find the M7 hosted shares with MCC, only the host shows up, no directories. But, running M7 guest on M6 host, the shares work fine.

Has something changed so that the NFS settings from M5(/6) do not work any more, at least in such Virtualbox environment?

try doing it with the command line , its easier for us to see whats wrong and does not hide errors, and magic behind smoke and mirrors.

forgive me if you already know these commands, but in case you dont.

Ok, thanks, that sort of solved the problem. First, I found out that the manual mount works. Second, I found out that I can set the shares up in M6 and run the same guest under M7, and the shares work They just work and showmount displays them, but the guest's MCC does not, eventhough it displays the host.
