Description David Jones 2015-02-13 15:00:27 UTC 
Document URL: 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Storage_Administration_Guide/s1-nfs-start.html

Section Number and Name: 
8.6 Starting and Stopping NFS

Describe the issue: 

The documentation explains how to start the NFS service, but not how to enable it so it starts at boot.


To start it you run:

systemctl start nfs.service

But to enable it you run (and this isn't documented):

systemctl enable nfs-server.service

Trying to do the most obvious thing doesn't work:

systemctl enable nfs.service
Failed to issue method call. No such file or directory.


Suggestions for improvement: 

Explain how to enable the NFS service.

I think it would be best to get rid of the nfs.service link to nfs-server.service. It's redundant and confusing. Then change the docs accordingly.

Added a paragraph to say 

To enable NFS to start at boot, use the following command:
# systemctl enable nfs-server.service
