Hrm.

I don't think NFS is going to work until you can get past the above
problem. Running "showmount -e" on your FreeBSD machine should display
the essential contents of /etc/exports.
I added
/var 172.17.0.21
/usr 127.0.0.1
to /etc/exports on the FreeBSD machine, hupped mountd, and when I run
showmount -e 172.17.0.21
showmount -e 127.0.0.1
... either command just hangs indefinitely. Hmm.
What does the FreeBSD machine have to say about your attempts to connect
from Linux in /var/log/messages?
Nothing. Which is reasonable, given the above. So it looks like NFS is
hosed on this box. Let's see now, relevant lines from rc.conf
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_type="open"
kern_securelevel_enable="NO"
nfs_access_cache="2"
nfs_bufpackets=""
nfs_reserved_port_only="NO"
nfs_server_enable="YES"
nfs_server_flags="-u -t -n 4"
mountd_enable="YES"
ntpd_enable="YES"
rpc_lockd_enable="NO"
rpcbind_enable="YES"
rpc_statd_enable="YES"
Hmm. I don't what nfs_bufpackets does.
Short of rebooting the server, how do I reinitialise the NFS layers?
Does the following order sound sane?
/etc/rc.d/mountd stop
/etc/rc.d/nfsd stop
/etc/rc.d/rpcbind stop
... and the the same again with start in the reverse order?
Thanks,
David
