Troubleshooting NFS servers
OMFG, NFS servers are SUCH a pain in the backside. But anyway, here are some useful tricks: On server: netstat -l lists which services are listening on which port. rpcinfo -p also lists rpc processes, with program numbers and ports /etc/services The file portmapper uses to see which port the services should run on. Names of the relevant services are: mountd lockd and status HOWEVER: sysctl -w fs.nfs.nlm_tcpport=blah sysctl -w fs.nfs.nlm_udpport=blah might be needed to set the port of nlockmgr. Why it doesn't listen to portmapper, I've no idea. Debug logs: - kill the server process (nfsd, mountd, or whichever) - run the server process with a -F or without the -D to force it to run in the foreground (you also might have to include a debug or verbose mode option. - try to mount the nfs share from the client. Now you should get a load of meaningful output on the command line. If you're dealing with TinyCore, REMEMBER TO filet
