nfs mount error

sheevm — Wed, 17 Apr 2002 18:01:11 GMT

Hi!

I am trying to mount one of the drives in one of the unix server.

I am the client side of the nfs and made sure everything is set up correctly as a client
and added an entry in fstab.

This is the error I am getting this error message. Please anyone tell me is this problem on the server side or my side?

You can also see my fstab entry.

Hi Raji:

Try this on the server:

1) Check whether rpc.mountd is running
2) Try 'rpcinfo -p' and see whether the nfs daemons are there.

If not, restart the nfs services on the server.

HTH,
Shiju

Hi Raji

Do ps -ef | gerp mountf
ans see whehter rpc.mountd is running or not , in case not then restart it man nfsd.

First of all, on the serving server did you run exportfs -a to get the file system exported and show if there are errors in nfsd starting?

Second on the client system you should verify that you have a connection to the server and see what it is exporting:

showmount -e servername

Then confirm that you are in fact typing the correct info into /etc/fstab.
Good luck

Hi Raji

That should read

ps -aef | grep mountd

sorry.

You can start nfsd by using
#/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

hi,
on the server side :
#portmap
#rpcd
#nfsd 4
#rpc.lockd
#rpc.statd

on the client side:
#portmap
#rpcd
#rpc.mountd

for permanent changes
edit configuration file : /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf
