Hi, I'm a new Fedora core user. I want to mount my home from an nfs server? How do you do this?
I tried using
"mount -t nfs 192.168.0.1:/var/storage/online/users/patrick/Mes\ Documents /home/patrick"
but it said
"mount: Stale NFS file handle"
I tried to reboot and it continued to say the same thing.

Also, the server answers this when I try to mount:
Sep 9 00:37:30 localhost rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from pat.etherealnet.redirectme.net:940 for /var/storage/online/users/patrick/Mes Documents (/var/storage)
That does not seem to indicate there is an error on the server side....
What am I doing wrong?

Anything NFS related in the system logs? Both server and client?
All necessary processes on the server running?
What OS/version is the server running?

The only thing in the logs is on the server, and is what I posted

"Sep 9 00:37:30 localhost rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from pat.etherealnet.redirectme.net:940 for /var/storage/online/users/patrick/Mes Documents (/var/storage)".

Other than that there is nothing, even on the client. The server runs Debian Sarge. HERE you can see what is running on the server. AFAIK, debian should have setted itself up when I installed NFS

Check time syncronization on the two systems.
Check for options on the server to run the NFS server processes more verbosely.
