    [Solved] NFS problem

    Have NFS working fine on three systems, but one keeps giving me this error when I try to mount the drive.

    Code:
    mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'rpcbind' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered
    mount.nfs: internal error
    I tried restarting , nfs, portmap , removing and re-installing nfs to no avail.

    Really stumped any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi there,

    Try restarting nfslockd on the server (and client if it's applicable)

    Code:
    /etc/init.d/nfslock restart

    Thank you Ziplock but this was certainly an operator knuckle head error:
    I had my exports portmap incorrectly configured on the server with the wrong ip for the one system, and thus the error.
    Thank you very much for the very prompt reply however.
    And welcome to the forum !!!!

    Hi silvagroup,

    I think everyone does something like that once in a while. I have certainly been the author of my own hardship at times!

    Likewise, welcome to the forum! It seems to have a really nice community feel around here, so I hope you stay around.
