NFS is not working (SuSE 7.3)

Post by Haral » Sat, 12 Jan 2002 00:03:41



With Yast2 I have configured the NFS-Server and a NFS client.

The client is waiting for the server until timeout.
I have selected a directory, i have set the options to rw etc.
I can't regognize a reason why it does not work.

After with yast I have configured direct, editing the /etc/exports file. But
it doesn't work.

Do you know what could be wrong?

after you edit the exports file, you have to change it with 'exportfs -a'

Is the portmapper running on the client? (It should be).

Yes thanks, but I have restarted the computer some times. But I will try it
additionally. The yast tool should do it automatically.

But I think the NFS has a problem with my hardware. Is it possible? the
access to harddrives is possible.

the startvariable for running portmapper is set to yes. The portmapper
should be running. Probably it is not starting correctly.
How I can test if the portmapper is really running?

just a hint: on linux, you're not supposed to restart unless you install a new
kernel

err, if you can access your hardware, and your network works, nfsd should work,
it doesn't deal directly with any hardware

ps aux (get the list of running processes, check if it's in there)
e.g. by doing
ps aux | grep portmap (change portmap by the name of your portmapper)

don't see why you need a portmapper on the client, though...

Hello,

the /etc/exports contain

/home  daniela(rw)   dimension(rw)

daniela is the server and dimension is the client. I have tested the
nfs-server on the server machine self with the entry daniela(rw).
I was able to mount this on the server with the nfs-client.

But on the machine dimension I try to mount it with
mount -t nfs daniela:/home /lan

but it doesn't work. On computer dimension it waits until timout.

I have test the prortmap. It is running.

I have no idea why it doesn't work.

1. suse 7.3: ftp (in.ftpd) not working well

I can get ftp to work but ftpdir is also install. (ftpdir is
template directory with permissions and everything else already
set up for you.)

The console log lists that file /etc/ftpchroot can not be found.

I suspect that that file causes the ftp server to use the
directory /usr/local/ftp/...
