Problems with mounting NFS share located on a Linux machine

[Richard Krushelnitskiy]

Hi,

I have a Linux machine which acts as a NFS server and I'm trying to
mount the share on FreeBSD. While the mount command succeeds and I see
no errors and Linux doesn't show anything unusual in the logs, when I
try to list the files in the mounted directory, none show up. Doing
'df' on both machines reports the same size/usage/free numbers for the
partition. I'm lost as to how to further analyze the problem.

Contents of /etc/exports on the Linux system (galadriel):
------------------
# /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported.  See exports(5).

/home 192.168.1.100(rw,sync)
------------------

[*] 192.168.1.100 refers to the FreeBSD machine (elrond).

------------------
root at elrond ~ # showmount -e galadriel
Exports list on galadriel:
/home                              elrond.rivendell.lan
------------------

------------------

Hope these outputs help :)
