Hi everyone
Thanks for all your answers, they were much appreciated. In particular ,

There were two things that I had to do:
1. run /etc/init.d/nfs.client start on server B
2. Enable NFS between server A and server B in the firewall (that is why I
was getting that RPCbind failure)
Now this is working, but I am facing another problem. My reason for using
nfs to mount a directory in server A on a directory in server B was because
of a lack of space in server A. Ftp clients upload data on a daily basis to
server A, so the space available on server A is being reduced on a daily
basis.
Now, when an ftp client uploads data to server A:/shared dir, the data is
still written to server A: /shared dir and is replicated on server B:/mount
point . So there is no space saving. How can I disable the data being
writtten to server A but ensure that it is written to server B:/mount
point/??
Regards
