Unfortunately, I don't have access to the special version of google that Mr.
Johnson does (although mine does produce interesting results, just not
particularly helpful ones), however the point is taken and I'll backfill the
necessary information.
I've removed all entries from /etc/exports, have portmap and nfs-common
running, the firewall down, have an empty /etc/hosts.deny and a single entry
in hosts.allow (taken from the portmap man page):
portmap 192.168.
I've tried various incarnations of mountd: ALL, nfsd: ALL, etc, with no
positive results. When I attempt to start nfs-kernel-server, I get the
following output to stdout:
server:~# service nfs-kernel-server start
Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon....
Starting NFS kernel daemon: nfsdrpc.nfsd: Setting version failed: errno 16
(Device or resource busy)
rpc.nfsd: writing fd to kernel failed: errno 13 (Permission denied)
rpc.nfsd: unable to set any sockets for nfsd
failed!
server:~#
This also writes the following line to /var/log/messages:
Mar 9 01:22:26 server kernel: [220123.669684] svc: failed to register
lockdv1 RPC service (errno 13).
And the following is the output from rpcinfo:
server:~# rpcinfo -p
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100024 1 udp 51547 status
100024 1 tcp 54119 status
I'm a bit at a loss here as I've never run into any problems setting up nfs
mounts on other Unices or Linux distros. There is most likely something
fundamental I'm missing, but I just can't put my finger on it. Any help
would be appreciated. I don't usually post to mailing lists and am quite new
to Debian as a distribution, so please forgive any naiveté on my part.
Thanks,
LC
