Hi,

I am trying to setup NFS on Fedora 8 but i have a problem regarding the nfs service.

When i do a 'service rpcbind start' all services start well, same for 'service nfs start' and 'service nfslock start'.
The problem is, when i do a rpcinfo -p, i don't see the port 2049 open with nfs...

Here is what is see:

[root@nfs ~]# rpcinfo -p
program vers proto port service
100000 4 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 3 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 4 udp 111 portmapper
100000 3 udp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100000 4 0 111 portmapper
100000 3 0 111 portmapper
100000 2 0 111 portmapper
100011 1 udp 875 rquotad
100011 2 udp 875 rquotad
100011 1 tcp 875 rquotad
100011 2 tcp 875 rquotad
100005 1 udp 892 mountd
100005 1 tcp 892 mountd
100005 2 udp 892 mountd
100005 2 tcp 892 mountd
100005 3 udp 892 mountd
100005 3 tcp 892 mountd
100024 1 udp 32803 status
100024 1 tcp 45209 status

my export file is correct, and i my hosts.allow/deny files are empty.
And on the client side, when i try to mount, i have this error :

mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.compute-1.amazonaws.com' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered

It's not a firewall problem because i have opened all the port to the correct ec2 instance.
i also have fixed ports for daemons but still doesn't work...

Any ideas?

Thanks!!

Check whether portmap service is running or not.

If its not, then start the service.

Start nfs again, then check.

Portmap has been replaced by rpcbind since fedora 7 or 8
i already have restart my service in that order : rpcbind / nfs / nfslock.

And NFS client is installed on the system? from where you are trying to mount?

yes, i did a yum install nfs on the client to make sur, and it found nothing to install.

I already tried to remove/reinstall nfs with yum on the server side but didn't work.

any other ideas?

From the client, run this:

What is the output?

And also, did you try mounting it with ip address? and check if mountd daemon is running on the server or not.

# showmount -e 174.129.239.1
Export list for 174.129.239.1:
/var/www/test 10.124.47.130/32,174.129.210.22/32

and those 2 ip are pointing to the same machine, one is the public one and the other is the private.


i did try mounting with the ip address but still does not work, and yes mountd is running

it's only happening on 2 servers, whereas i manage to do it on 2 other servers... they are running the same OS fedora 8 but have different soft installed.
I really don't understand what's happening...
