A couple of links that had a problem similar to yours, seems like after they recycled nfs they were able to resolve their problems:

Hi.

1. stop the nfs deamon.( #/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop
#/sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop )
#/sbin/init.d/nfs.core stop )

check with
# rpcinfo -s nfs

2. kill all the rpcbind process realted to nfs.( check with ps -ef | grep rpc )

3. start the nfs deamon
#/sbin/init.d/nfs.core start )
#/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start )
#/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start )

regards

Hi,

Check this link

Common problems with NFS

http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-1811/ch08s01.html

[Muthukumar_5]

change this,

START_MOUNTD=1

and start nfs.server and nfs.core as well.

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

Try now.

[Muthukumar_5]

change needed on /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf as,

NFS_CLIENT=1
NFS_SERVER=1
NUM_NFSD=16
NUM_NFSIOD=16
START_MOUNTD=1

You should have something like this in the NFS server, /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf

NFS_CLIENT=0
NFS_SERVER=1
NUM_NFSD=16
NUM_NFSIOD=16
PCNFS_SERVER=1

NFS_SERVER should be 1 since,
# NFS_SERVER: 1 if this node is an NFS server, 0 if not Note: it is possible for one host to be a client, a server, both or neither! This system is an NFS client if you will be NFS mounting remote file systems; this system is a server if you will be exporting file systems to remote hosts.
See Also: nfsd(1M), mount(1M).
