exportfs

Ryan Ma — Tue, 05 Feb 2002 06:09:48 GMT

Last time I reboot my server and I found that client cannot mount the directory from my server through NFS.

After I submit the command "exportfs -a", the problem is solved.

How can I set so that the directory will keep exprot after reboot?

The filesystems are automatically exported on reboot. This is done through the nfs-startup scripts:
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server.

See /etc/rc.log to check if the nfs.server script is called and is errorfree.

You should see lines like:

"Start NFS server subsystem"
...
"Reading in /etc/exports"

in /etc/rc.log.

Hi,

If you set up the server as a NFS server, the file /etc/exports will be automatically be exported after a reboot.

Make sure your /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf is set up properly.
Example
NFS_CLIENT=1
NFS_SERVER=1
NUM_NFSD=4
NUM_NFSIOD=4

The file whereby the command "exportfs -a" will run after a system reboot is at /sbin/init.d/nfs.server

Thank you so much.
After reading /etc/rc.log, I know the root problem...

The directory in /etc/exports is not exist because it is mounted by MC/SG.

Thanks for your help.
