Hi people, i am getting this message when i try to mount the filesystem from the server to the client. This is the message i get on the client

# mount newPC_LA:/tesnfs/yahoo /nfs
nfs mount: get_fh: newPC_LA:: RPC: Program not registered
nfs mount: get_fh: newPC_LA:: RPC: Program not registered
nfs mount: retry: retrying(1) for: /nfs after 5 seconds
nfs mount: retry: giving up on: /nfs

Hi,
Looks like NFS server is not started at server end.

On server check:
nfs.core and nfs.server are started.
Check all nfs daemons if they are running.
See if the intended filesystems are there in /etc/exports and then exported. If not use "exportfs -a".

On client side:
See if nfs.core and nfs.client are started.

Also check whether /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf is updated properrly.

The problem is on the server. It's complaining that the server apparently
isn't running mountd. Are you sure NFS server has been enabled on the
server?


If it's not running then issue the comand to start it

/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

i started it again, when i run showmount -e servername nothing comes up. I ran the daemons the nfs.server and nfs.core but nothing happened. When i grep rpc on the server i see all the rpc extensions also, both on the server and the client. Any suggestions.

On the NFS SERVER in the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file make sure that of these 2 lines:

NFS_SERVER=1
START_MOUNTD=1

BOTH of those must be set to '1' for the NFS server to function properly.

Once that is done, do the following on the NFS SERVER:

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

Hi;

it seems nfs service not started on nfs server. Do the following step on the server

#ps -ef |grep nfsd

if it not running..

#vi /etc/rc.config.d

NFS_SERVER = 1
START_MOUNTD = 1

save and come out

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

#ps -ef |grep nfsd

check the output..

Hi,

Pls run

#rpcinfo

in the nfs server and check if the rpc ports are open and the entries for nfs is present in it.

This will confirm the running of rpc and nfs services in the server,

check the process information for nfs as,

# ps -ef | grep nfs

If you are not having any process then you are not started nfs process well.

check,

# /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file for configuration and startup nfs.server and nfs.core in /sbin/init.d/ for server side and nfs.client in client side.
