[svlug] Mounting drives

[Skip Evans]

Hey all,

I went ahead and just did an apt-get install 
portmap, and it went out and got it, and then 
started it.

So now I see this:

root at Xu-400:/mnt# ps waux | grep portmap
daemon    5058  0.0  0.0   1708   392 ?        Ss 
   10:25   0:00 /sbin/portmap
root      5118  0.0  0.1   2800   752 pts/2    R+ 
   10:34   0:00 grep portmap
root at Xu-400:/mnt#

So it looks like portmap is up and running, right?

And when I did a mount -a

...all the file systems under /mnt from the server 
where mounted very quickly.

I can read files from the server, but cannot write 
them back in Kate. I get a permissions or no disk 
space error. I did a 777 of all relevant files to 
make simply eliminate that for now (won't leave it 
that way!), but I still get the error.

Suggestions?

By the way, no server changes have taken place at 
all, only the installation of Xu on the workstations.

Grrrr...

Thanks,
Skip
