NFS server apparently stops


I posted this yesterday, but it seems to have disappeared. If you feel it belongs in another forum, please let me know.

I'm teaching an online embedded Linux class for UC San Diego extension. Two of my students seem to be having the same problem that I've never seen before. Both are running F17 under VMWare.

They can't mount the target board's root file system over NFS. Executing service nfs-server status yields:

[root@localhost linux-3.5.3]# service nfs-server status
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status nfs-server.service
nfs-server.service - NFS Server

Oct 19 14:59:26 localhost.localdomain rpc.mountd[2087]: Version 1.2.5 starting

where the key word is exited. On my system, which is F17 running under VirtualBox, it says running. Looking at the graphical services dialog, on my system nfs-server shows as running, while on theirs it shows as "finished". In all three cases the firewall is disabled.

What's going on? Thanks.

My first guess is the process is running through inetd and will therefore shutdown when not in use. Is NFS is configured to run as a daemon or a service through inetd?

Well, according to the Service Management dialog, it's being managed by systemd. All well and good, but where do we figure out how NFS is configured?
