[rhn-users] Unable to mount NFS share

[E Azariah Jason-G20266]

Hi,

NFS Server side - Check and issue following commands
------------------
1) check whether the Firewall is in ON for NFS and portmaps ( #iptables
-L ).If yes, flush the firewall of both ports.
2) #chkconfig --list nfs and #chkconfig --list portmap , if the output
is in off state for 3 and 5 runlevel. Please ON using #chkconfig --level
3 5 on.
3) service portmap restart
4) service nfs restart
5) exportfs -a . If everything is fine , you should not get any error
messages.
6) Then ensure your exported directory using -- #showmount -e

Client Side
------------

1) service portmap restart
2) Check for firewall . If its there flush off using #iptable -f (for
needed ports)
3) Then create a directory called test ( its your wish ) - #mkdir -p
/opt/test
4) mount -t nfs  192.168.4.115:/mnt/inst /opt/test

Now you should be able to mount your exported dir in your local machine
. 

Feel free to revert back incase of issues..

Subject: [rhn-users] Unable to mount NFS share

I have a server set up which I'm using to expand my Linux knowledge.  I
currently have NFS running with a single share.  The entry in
/etc/exports is thus: /mnt/inst       *(ro,sync)

I usually have to manually start NFS for some reason but that isn't
what's important right now.  After I start it I try to mount the share
to my local filesystem using `mount 192.168.4.115:/mnt/inst /mnt/nfs`.
However, this doesn't work and instead gives me the following error:
mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection reset by peer

After I attempt to mount /mnt/inst and it fails I run `service nfs
restart`.  For the most part this works normally.  However, shutting
down mountd fails.  After the restart though, I can start and stop NFS
and mountd won't have any problems.  It's only after I try to mount the
share that it gets squirrely.

Anyone have any insight on how I can fix this problem?

Thanks
Mathew
