nfs now broken

RossGoodman · #1 8th January 2006, 06:08 PM

This was working, but is now broken.

I have two RH FC3 machines:
1) = 192.168.1.110
2) = 192.168.1.111

1 is the server
2 is the client

I have disabled the firewall on both machines.
I can ping both machines from each other.
I have Samba running on 1) and can access the shares from windows.

I have nfs, and nfslock running on machine 1
when from machine 2 (as root) I issue
mount 192.168.1.110:/home/rgoodman /mnt/rgoodman
I get
mount: RPC: Timed out

This WAS working until I recently rebooted machine 1

Any ideas?

Is portmap running on your server?

RossGoodman · #4 8th January 2006, 06:57 PM

Both machines have been rebooted several times.

Yes portmap is running on the server machine.

I thought portmap had to be running on both.

RossGoodman · #6 8th January 2006, 08:01 PM

Double checked, yes, it is running on both.

Samba and NFS are seperate things. Just because Samba was working does not mean NFS will work and vice versa. When you say "this was working" do you mean that NFS was working before or were you talking about Samba?

I understand that nfs and samba are different.
I mentioned it just to highlight that fundamentally there is some level of networking between the machines.

I say "this was working" I am indeed referring to nfs. I had this configured and working correctly, but on my subsequent reboot of the "server" I got the behaviour described above.

OK, I left it alone for a few days, changed nothing and it's now working OK.
