Starting NFS

[StanLin]

Although portmap gets started at boot, rpc.mountd and rpc.nfsd daemons don't get started. I have to start them manually before I can mount the server directories at the client.

Can anyone tell me how to get those daemons started at boot automatically? I couldn't find anything in ntsysv.

If you are running RedHat or Mandrake, issue:

chkconfig nfs on

and if you want nfs locking, also:

chkconfig nfslock on

which will cause the daemons to launch at boot up.

Otherwise, you could put the following in /etc/rc.local:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start

Thanks. I'll look into this.
