Greetings
I urgently need some advise My nfs server is failing to start It has something to do with the exports file. If the exports file is empty nfs starts. If it has and entry it won't I have restarted portmap and nfs several times. I have also started nfs then exported the files with exportfs -r but that also hangs.
What can be done to find the root of this evil?
check /var/log/messages
nfs logs any error messages
also check /var/log/dmesg
I am not getting any problems from my logs at all, The strange thing here is that if I run "service named stop" then nfs works. I manufacture PCs and you will be happy to know that I have already built approx 4000 systems loaded with FC1 / 2 Linux this year. To speed up the installations via the network I setup a dns server and a dhcp to assign IPs and host names to the computers. The problem I am faced with is possibly a config problem in my dhcp file. The server is not assigning the host names, I also can't use mac address statements because the PCs are always new. In other words I want the dhcp to assign an IP on a random basis, if for example the IP is 192.168.2.1 then make that PCs hostname station1.domainname. If a PC is unplugged from the network then it must make that IP immediatley available again. Here is my dhcpd.conf file could someone please give me a hint: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ddns-update-style ad-hoc; default-lease-time 30; # 30 seconds max-lease-time 7200; # 2 hours option domain-name "teq.pinteq"; option domain-name-servers 192.168.2.1; option broadcast-address 192.168.2.255; option routers 192.168.2.1; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.2.10 192.168.2.50; } +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -------------------------------------------------------
