[SOLVED] How to configure NFS

Hi_This_is_Dev · 09-30-2010, 08:28 PM

Hi,

I forgot how to configure an NFS server. I just followed the steps given in the official book RH133 of RHCE.

Code:

[root@mahadeva ~]# ls -ld /mnt/share
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct  1 06:34 /mnt/share
[root@mahadeva ~]# service vsftpd status
vsftpd (pid 5139) is running...

[root@mahadeva ~]# mount -t nfs mahadeva:/var/ftp/pub /mnt/share
mount: mount to NFS server 'mahadeva' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered.
[root@mahadeva ~]#

The same error:

mount: mount to NFS server 'mahadeva' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered.

is reported when I make an entry in the file /etc/fstab and remount the FS.

Networking is also set to "yes":

Code:

[root@mahadeva init.d]#  cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=no
HOSTNAME=mahadeva.com

The Mountpoint is also being shown as "configured":

Code:

[root@mahadeva ~]# service netfs status
Configured NFS mountpoints:
/mnt/share
[root@mahadeva ~]#

but there is nothing in there:

Code:

[root@mahadeva ~]# ls -l /mnt/share/
total 0
[root@mahadeva ~]#

I have rebooted the system. But the same error is displaying at boot time also.

Start nfsserver (nfsd) on mahadeva.

Firewall is stopped.

Code:

[root@mahadeva ~]# service nfsd status
nfsd: unrecognized service

Maybe it's named nfsserver or nfs or nfs.server, I don't know, look at the nfs* services yourself.

Thanks! It is nsf

But now this error is coming:

Code:

[root@mahadeva ~]# mount -a
mount: mahadeva:/var/ftp/pub failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
[root@mahadeva ~]# ls -ld /var/ftp/pub/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 25 07:27 /var/ftp/pub/
[root@mahadeva ~]#

I have already started the nfs service:

Code:

[root@mahadeva ~]# service nfs status
rpc.mountd (pid 6263) is running...
nfsd (pid 6260 6259 6258 6257 6256 6255 6254 6253) is running...
[root@mahadeva ~]#

Well, it is working now.

I did these things:

Code:

[root@mahadeva ~]# vi /etc/exports

/var/ftp/pub    client1(rw,sync) client2(ro,sync)

service nfs restart

[root@mahadeva ~]# mount -a
[root@mahadeva ~]# ls /mnt/share/
apps  hello  list.txt  myApps.repo.client
