Other Help Topics :: Cannot start nfs

How can I start nfs with dsl
Cannot start either in graphical or text mode.
I am not able to figure out how to do it.

Thanks in advance

Having the same problem... please someone!

It worked for me by -

sudo sh
/etd/init.d/portmap start
/etc/init.d/nfs-common start
/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start

Have Fun

I've created an /etc/exports file:

/music rolandspc(rw,all_squash)

Running "/etc/init.d/portmap start" works, but then
running "/etc/init.d/nfs-common start" produces the following:

Starting NFS common utilities: statdstatd: Could not chdir: No such file
or directory

I have the problem running as a user or root. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I can't seem to get NFS running so that I can access a directory on a Windows PC on our LAN:

- I am running DSL 1.0.1.
- The target Windows PC (named Thin) has a shared directory called sigdata which is shared
- I am able to access Thin from other (Windows) PC's on the network.
- Thin has no firewall software running.
- The ethernet card of the DSL PC appears to be working fine (good access to internet)
- My process as root is as follows:

Code Sample

# /etc/init.d/portmapper start
starting portmapper daemon: portmap.
# /etc/init.d/nfs-common start
starting NFS common utilities: statd.
# /etc/init.d/nfs-server-kernel start [not sure that I need this]
[no output]
mount Thin:/sigdata /mnt/sigdata
mount: can't get address for Thin

So I try to access Thin using its IP address:

Code Sample

mountt 192.168.0.3:/sigdata /mnt/sigdata
mount: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused

Am I misunderstanding how NFS is to be used?

Thank you.
