can't mount nfs directory at mountpoint

[mike_sh]

Hello! can somebody help me with next:
I'm running FC2 (kernel 2.6.5...)
When I try to mount the nfs directoty(/mnt/riku) I receive next message:
mount: can't find /mnt/riku in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

here is my /etc/fstab line:
riku:/mnt/riku/ /home/riku/movies/ nfs rw,hard,intr 0 0

I don't know what's wrong!!!
I did try to restart /etc/init.d/nfs, and some other things back and forth, nothig changes!
do I really have add line to /etc/mtab? (If yes please tell me how should it look)

I'm new to linux so if you can give me some advice I'd appreciate that very much!
THANKS

Judging by your fstab entry, riku is your NFS server, with a exported directory /mnt/riku, which you'd like to mount on your local machine as /home/riku/movies. If that is the case, you need to run:

root@localhost# mount riku:/mnt/riku /home/riku/movies

Since you have the mount defined in the fstab, you can also shorten that as follows:

root@localhost# mount riku:/mnt/riku
root@localhost# mount /home/riku/movies

Running "mount /mnt/riku", which is what you would have done to get that error, would mean to mount something in the /mnt/riku directory on your local machine.

Don't edit mtab, that file is written by mount/umount to show what is currently mounted, and is not a configuration you can change.

/etc/init.d/nfs controls NFS services, but not the NFS client daemons, which are controlled by /etc/init.d/nfslock.

That was my mistake!!!
Server riku is exporting directory /home/riku/movies/ and I have it on /mnt/riku

The point Is: HAVE TO SLEEP ALSO!!!

Thank you bradthemad for help!
