NFS installation
 

I have two Red Hat 8.0 boxes. Trying to mount harddrive but no success.

NFS should be install on 1 client box too?

Any comments what am I missing in the installation.

I installed NFS on box1 and NFS is running:

#1
[root@web1 etc]# /sbin/service nfs status
rpc.mountd (pid 8924) is running...
nfsd (pid 8916 8915 8914 8913 8912 8911 8910 8909) is running...
rpc.rquotad (pid 8905) is running.

#2 Modified the /etc/exports file
/home/mike 192.168.1.1(rw)

#3 Reloadd NFS
[root@web1 etc]# /sbin/service nfs reload
exportfs: No 'sync' or 'async' option specified for export "192.168.1.1:/home/mike".
Assuming default behaviour ('sync').
NOTE: this default has changed from previous versions


#4 trying to mount the hardrive from box 2
mount 192.168.1.1:/home/mike /home/mike/
mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused

P.S Using the Red Hat tutorial
https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/...nfs-mount.html


Any ideas what am I doing wrong?

Re: NFS installation
 

A very common mistake is that
/etc/hosts.allow
and
/etc/hosts.deny
aren't configured properly

For more details check the logs on the
server
/var/log

is portmap running in the server
try restarting it

I got a message that RPC comunication is disabled. What is the RPC communication?

Remote Procedure Call
Basically a client/server mechanism to
invoke something on a remote machine.
