Hello,

Make sure "nfs-utils" is installed :

rpm -q nfs-utils

Then make sure that NFS is started in system bootup scripts :

root:~# cd /etc/rc.d
root:/etc/rc.d# find . -print | grep nfs
/init.d/nfs
./init.d/nfslock
./rc0.d/K20nfs
./rc0.d/K86nfslock
./rc1.d/K20nfs
./rc1.d/K86nfslock
./rc2.d/K20nfs
./rc2.d/K86nfslock
./rc3.d/K20nfs
./rc3.d/S14nfslock
./rc4.d/K20nfs
./rc4.d/S14nfslock
./rc5.d/K20nfs
./rc5.d/S14nfslock
./rc6.d/K20nfs
./rc6.d/K86nfslock


If you only have "K.." script and not "S.." ones, use chk-config to make appropriate symlinks :

chkconfig --level 345 nfs on


To export directories, you need to edit /etc/exports like this :

/dir_to_be_exported *(rw,no_root_squash)

To have all options, read the exports 5 manpage.

To apply changes : exportfs -rv


On the client side, you also need nfs-utils package installed.

To mount remote directory :

mount nfs_server_IP:/directory /mountpoint


To make it automatically mounted at boot, edit /etc/fstab as follows :

nfs_server_IP:/directory /mountpoint nfs intr 0 0



Good luck.

Hi,

give this command.

#ntsysv

and select the networking services to be enabled automatically on bootup.
