I'm having NFS problems as well on brand new RH 6.0 machine. It uses kernel 2.2.9. When NFS is started at boot time I get this error: Aug 25 16:24:41 chippewa nfs: Starting NFS services: succeeded Aug 25 16:24:42 chippewa nfs: rpc.statd startup succeeded Aug 25 16:24:42 chippewa nfs: rpc.rquotad startup succeeded Aug 25 16:24:42 chippewa nfs: rpc.mountd startup succeeded Aug 25 16:24:43 chippewa kernel: Installing knfsd (copyright (C) 1996 okir.de). Aug 25 16:24:43 chippewa rpc.nfsd: nfssvc: Operation not permitted Aug 25 16:24:43 chippewa nfs: rpc.nfsd startup failed nfsd fails to start. I can mount nfs volumes on my linux box, but I am unable to export anything. BTW, I've set up the machine to be a NIS+ client as it lives on a SUN network. NIS+ seems to work OK. ...richie Upgrade to the latest knfsd-1.4.7 in Raw Hide. Alternatively, you can add "--no-nfs-version 3" to the daemon startup. Based on my experience with a similar problem (Bugzilla #5689), the problem here is that the kernel-land NFS server is not configured into the kernel or is configured as a module. You need to recompile the kernel configured to ask about experimental stuff and to include "NFS Server Support (NEW)" built into the kernel; including it as a module was not good enough. When I tried this, it got rid of the "nfssvc: Operation not permitted" error but revealed another bug, at which point I decided to forget kernel-mode NFS and fall back to the tried-and-true user-land NFS server. That worked for me; if you want to do the same, see #5689 for the details. |
