"showmount -a" command error.

[zhoufeilong]

Error message are as follows:
showmount : hp_g40 : RPC : Rpcbind failure - RPC : timeout
I can make sure the rpcbind daemon is running and started before inetd daemon.
What's the matter?

Feilong,

Try restarting nfs server by /sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop and /sbin/init.d/nfs.server start and then try showmount.

I have tried this way. But the God are not smiling.

what is hp_g40, the local system or remote server that is mounting the directories?. If it is a remote system, you may want to try restarting nfs.client over there.

Make sure that the rpcbind process is running on hp_g40...if not, try restarting the NFS server, i.e.
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start, on hp_g40.

Actually, try stopping the nfs server and then restarting on hp_g40, i.e.:

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

Then try the showmount.

Thank you all very much, but still not OK.
"hp_g40" is the server's hostname.
I use "rpcinfo"(with no parameter), and get the following informations:
can't contact rpcbind : RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC :failed(unspecified error).
Why?
