I am using MDK 8.1 with kernel 2.4.17 on an nfs server, and RH 7.2 on a client system.
I have tried setting up the nfs server. During the initial install, I included nfs support, and have built the kernel with support for both nfs server and client. I am starting up nfs with '/etc/init.d/nfs start', and it seems to start up correctly. THe correct processes seem to be there with ps. I am able to mount an nfs export from the SAME system, but when I try to mount the nfs share from another system, the mount files. The mount command returns, after about a minute, with an RFC: Timeout error. However, the logs on the server system indicate that the mount request is being authorized. Here's the output of various commands issued on the server: /usr/sbin/exportfs => /home � � � � ��192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 /usr/sbin/showmount -e => Export list for saruman.attbi.com: /home 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 /usr/sbin/showmount -a => All mount points on saruman.attbi.com: 192.168.1.51:/home 192.168.1.54:/home [the server system is 192.168.1.51 and the client is 192.168.1.54; saruman is 192.168.1.51] Issuing showmount -e 192.168.1.51 from the client hangs. Of note, I tried recompiling the kernel without kernel nfs server support, since the help text implied that this was not needed by the userspace nfsd daemon, but the nfsd daemon would not start at that point, so I went back to including the nfsd module in the kernel as well as starting rpc.nfsd. I'd appreciate any thoughts/comments. Thanks nl
