RPC program not registered error

simon_164 — Thu, 10 Aug 2006 14:07:48 GMT

I have a server who does give me the error:
"RPC: program not registered" whenever i do the command "showmount".
I tried to mount a file system from an NFS server, everything went fine, i can even browse the content and change, and see the mount in bdf, however showmount does not work and give me this error. what should I check?

Hi,

you have to distinguish between NFS-client and -server:

On client:
showmount -e serv
will bring results, mounting
mount serv:/exported /servmnt
will work, but

showmount -e client
will give a "RPC: program not registered" when client is not running NFS services.

Hi,

sorry for then followup posting, but my last sentence must be read as:

...
will give a "RPC: program not registered" when client is not running ==> as NFS server <==
