NFS problems

[dictum9]

I am setting up the Ignite-UX server as the NFS server. In /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf I set the line NFS_SERVER=1 and restarted the daemon in /sbin/init.d/nfs.server

# ps -fe|grep nfs | grep -v grep
root 7480 1 0 14:15:14 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.pcnfsd

Now on the Ignite-UX client, I am trying to mount the partition to test it:

/tmp# mount sbapca1402:/var/opt/ignite/clients /tmp/ignite
nfs mount: getaddr_nfs: sbapca1402: NFS service not responding(retry delay=5s)
nfs mount: retry: retrying(1) for: /tmp/ignite after 5 seconds

From your ps output, I do not see any nfsd or biod daemons. These are the server and client (respectively) daemons for nfs.

Have you exported the filesystems to be mounted? Can use the 'showmount' command.

Rick is right nfs does not appear to be running. Have you tried starting nfs.core
and then nfs.server ??

[Geoff Wild]

Did you start core as well?

/sbin/init.d/nfs.core start


Should have something like this in nfsconf

NFS_CLIENT=1
NFS_SERVER=1
NUM_NFSD=27
NUM_NFSIOD=16
PCNFS_SERVER=1

OK, I started the core.

Now I am getting this:

nfs mount: get_fh: sbapca1402:: RPC: Program not registered
nfs mount: retry: retrying(1) for: /tmp/ignite after 5 seconds

Hi,

Have you put the entries in /etc/exports file for /var/opt/ignite/clients directory? After putting the entries in /etc/exports with appropriate permissions and making the modification as suggested by Geoff try the following:

/sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.core stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.core start
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

You can also try to restart nfs.client on the client, if required, using the following commands:

/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start
