NFS fails to start when machine is booted up

[Dwayne Folden]

I am building a linux cluster and i have 2 onboard 10/100/1000baseT nic cards from intel. The problem i have is that when i start the systems up nfs gives me the error

mnt rpc:rpc program not registered

and to make the nfs work i must restart the nfs service.

along with this i must deactivate and reactivate my network cards in order for them to fucnction correctly. i am connecting the cards to an unmanaged switch. does anyone have any ideas about how to make this work correctly. any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

to run nfs you need rpc.nfsd, rpc.mountd, rpc.statd and rpc.rquotad.
Do a 'chkconfig --list | grep each_of_these_services' to see if they are launched at the runlevel you use (3 or 5 if you run graphics).
If one is missing, do a 'chkconfig missing_service on', it'll be started at next boot.
