Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Mount nfs filesystem Post 16891 by killerserv on Friday 8th of March 2002 03:42:39 AM

When the system boots, the NFS server is not enabled unless there are NFS exports listed in /etc/dfs/dfstab.

To start the nfs server after adding an entry to dfstab, issue the following command:

# /etc/init.d/nfs.server start

Note that it isn't currently possible to start the nfs server using the "nfs.server" script unless there are entries in /etc/dfs/dfstab.

If you want to do automatic sharing, you need to export at least one other filesystem if you're running Solaris 2.6 or earlier.

your problem is nfsd and mountd weren't running. It turns out that if
there are no shared entries in /etc/dfs/dfstab, then those daemons aren't
started at boot time. The solution is o put the share command in
/etc/dfs/dfstab, and then execute

# /etc/init.d/nfs.server start (as stated above)

Also, you can issue the commands manually:

/usr/lib/nfs/nfsd -a 16
/usr/lib/nfs/mountd

This must all be done as root, naturally.
Hope this helps

MOUNT.NFS(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      MOUNT.NFS(8)

NAME
mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System SYNOPSIS
mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options] DESCRIPTION
mount.nfs is a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality. mount.nfs is meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone command with limited functionality. mount.nfs4 is used for mounting NFSv4 file system, while mount.nfs is used to mount NFS file systems versions 3 or 2. remotetarget is a server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share. dir is the directory on which the file system is to be mounted. OPTIONS
-r Mount file system readonly. -v Be verbose. -V Print version. -w Mount file system read-write. -f Fake mount. Don't actually call the mount system call. -n Do not update /etc/mtab. By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip making an entry. -s Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail. -h Print help message. nfsoptions Refer to nfs(5) or mount(8) manual pages. NOTE
For further information please refer nfs(5) and mount(8) manual pages. FILES
