Having a very weird problem mounting a Quantum (model 1000) Snap Server
onto a Linux box's file system. I'm running Suse 9.1 on a fairly new
piece of hardware. When I try to mount the Snap Server I'm getting the
message "RPC: Program not registered". I've never seen that message
before and have no clue what it's about. The command and message is
shown below...

------------------------------------------------------------
/root >mount 128.222.0.16:/DRIVE1 /mnt
mount: RPC: Program not registered
------------------------------------------------------------

Even stranger is the fact that I can mount the same Snap Server on an
old version of Red Hat (5.0) running on an old 486 laptop with no
problem. I guess this is either a recent NFS thing, a 2.6 kernel thing
or a Suse thing. Now I just need to figure out which it is.

Any help/clue/suggestion would be much appreciated.

Googling for the error message gives many possibilities, here's one:
http://www.netsys.com/sunmgr/1997-08/msg00111.html
which suggests that the solution is:
the Daemons needed for this service were not running, they are :
/usr/lib/nfs/nfsd and /usr/lib/nfs/mountd

That's wrong (nfsd/mountd should run on server, but not on a client).
Perhaps you have "firewall" installed, which does not allow sunrpc
traffic through. Check with "iptables -L" (assuming that SuSe is using
iptables for packet filtering).
