I try to set up NFS between two freebsd-8.1 systems. Both were - at installation time - set up to act as NFS server and NFS client so both have in their /etc/rc.conf nfs_client_enable="YES" nfs_server_enable="YES" rpcbind_enable="YES"
all the services are running (checked on both systems): # ps -jaxw | grep nfs root 882 1 882 882 0 Is ?? 0:00.04 nfsd: master (nfsd) root 884 882 882 882 0 S ?? 0:00.00 nfsd: server (nfsd) # ps -jaxw | grep mountd root 880 1 880 880 0 Is ?? 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/mountd -r # ps -jaxw | grep rpcbind root 747 1 747 747 0 Ss ?? 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/rpcbind the NFS server (server.subdomain.topdomain) has server# cat /etc/exports /home -alldirs -ro client.subdomain.topdomain server# showmount -e Exports list on localhost: /home client.subdomain.topdomain server# cat /etc/hosts XXX.YYY.ZZZ.CCC client.subdomain.topdomain the NFS client (client.subdomain.topdomain) has client# cat /etc/hosts XXX.YYY.ZZZ.SSS server.subdomain.topdomain and has a mount-point /mnt with nothing mounted on it yet (empty dir) client# mount server.subdomain.topdomain:/home /mnt (or client# mount XXX.YYY.ZZZ.SSS:/home /mnt) hangs, and after trying for about a minute, responds [tcp] server.subdomain.topdomain:/home: RPCPROG_NFS: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out what is missing to make this work? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
