nfs mount error

[biosv]

I have two machines directly connected vi network cable. One setup as 10.0.0.1 (server, running OpenSuSE) and another as 10.0.0.2 (client, running Ubuntu). Each machine can ping each other.
I ran fs service o the client machine:
$ /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start

Then, from client, I tried to mount the server mount point (/media/target).

$ mount -t nfs 10.0.0.1:/media/target /mnt/foo
mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'rpcbind' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered
mount.nfs: internal error

I created the mount point (/media/target) in the server and addd '/media/target' in /etc/hosts on the client machine.

Any idea on the error message?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

I guess the firewall is making some issues while you are trying to connect the NFS Share.... Please try the below commands in your NFS Server... This might fix your prob...

# service iptables stop
# chkconfig iptables off
# iptables -F
# iptables -L (to check if any rules exists)
# exportfs -a
# service portmap restart
# service nfs restart
#chkconfig portmap on
#chkconfig nfs on

Client side:

#showmount -e 10.0.0.1 (shows you the exported files)
If you can see the exported files after executing the above command... Try with to mount the share
#mount -t nfs 10.0.0.1:/media/target /mnt/foo

Let me know if it worked or not
