A/UX: "NFS server not responding..." Error (9/94)


I tried to mount a file system and got the error:

NFS server <hostname> not responding, still trying

Check to see that the remote system (the one with the file system you're trying to mount) is available.

Enter the line:

ruptime

Here is an example of the kind of output you might see:

grumpy down 0:11
sleepy up 36+00:41
snow up 21:54

The system "grumpy" is down. Because the host is down, the NFS file systems aren't available and won't be available until the host comes back online.
