Hi,
Trying to get nfs server working. Nfs client works but when I try to export a directory to the machine that serves nfs mounts to the suse machine it times out without connecting. I have opened up permissions (chmod 777) on the directory I want to export. I've tried to mount with both Yast and command line.
I'm not sure if I understand this. Are you trying to get a directory from the server, or send one to it? I know it sounds funny, but that's what I read. If that's the case, you don't export directories from a client. You export from the server.
I've tried variaous entries in /etc/exports. portmap and rpc.mountd are both running. rpc.nfsd does not seem to run as a daemon. I have tried rcnfsserver restart and running it directly from the command line and it appears to exit immediately with no error messages. Does anyone know the magic word or have some suggestions for how to trouble-shoot this?
in order, if you change the exports file, restart portmap, then rcnfsserver. That's the way I've always done it.
