It means mountd is not registered by portmapper on the NFS server.
mountd isn't registering with portmapper and I don't know why. On machine A and B the servers are running but: # /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -p 'server' No remote programs registered. # /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -p 'client' No remote programs registered. /etc/init.d/nfs start Importing Net File System (NFS)mount: RPC: Program not registered
IMHO the portmap process must run both on the NFS client and the server.
The rcportmap status is: running on both machines. OK-the portmapper is running. The servers are running on both machines. But the nfs client cannot find the server because it is not registered. Why not?? "Normally" it would/should be registered with the portmapper and the server running,right? Are there commands to use to find out why 'No remote programs registered' is true (I assume this means the server)? Just in case the problem is here: etc/exports: /home/myhome/ 192.168.0.*(rw,root_squash,sync) etc/host.allow: portmap: 192.168.0.* lockd: 192.168.0.* rquotad: 192.168.0.* mountd: 192.168.0.* statd: 192.168.0.* /etc/hosts.deny: http-rman : ALL EXCEPT LOCAL portmap:ALL lockd:ALL mountd:ALL rquotad:ALL statd:ALL Thanks, Jerome
