How to use kernels NFS server

jpbarto · 05-16-2003, 06:58 PM

Ok, I have NFS server compiled into the kernel and I have installed portmap. What else do I need to install to get this thing working... with /etc/exports created, portmapper running, (and I guess the NFS server portion of the kernel listening) why do I still get RPC: program not registered from the client mount cmd?

More details please. Do you have all the necessary daemons running on the client and server side? Can I suggest the NFS howto at www.tldp.org ? How are you trying to mount the share, etc ? Can you post your exports file here, etc ?

more details... k. Uhm, currently the client is a slackware 8.1 system. (don't know offhand what is installed / running on the slack system).

The server is an LFS system with the kernel built to run as an nfs server with portmap installed and running. (No mountd or anything else.) I have the howto... just wasn't sure what all changed if I was trying to use the kernel instead of nfsd... do I just not install / run nfsd? Where do I find mountd? Is it a part of nfs-utils package the howto references?

ok, got it to work... downloaded nfs-utils source from a slackware mirror. Looks like Beyond LFS left something out eh? Had to install the other daemons... lockd, mountd, etc.

anyway its up.

although let it be noted.. .that while transfering probably well over 2 Gigs of mp3s from my laptop to my new desktop (thus the reason for the NFS setup) I managed to crash kjournald for the partition I was writing the mp3s to.
