Configuring the Network File System (NFS)

Troubleshooting NFS

Most problems involving NFS network services lie in one of the following areas:


When troubleshooting NFS, the following commands may be useful:

Command Function
rpcinfo(NADM) displays RPC information from a specified RPC server. Use rpcinfo to make sure theportmapper (/etc/portmap) is running and to ensure the Network Lock Manager is running. If exporting filesystems, the mountd service should be registered.
showmount(NADM) displays the clients that have remotely mounted filesystems from a specified server.
nfsstat(NADM) displays statistical information about NFS and about Remote Procedure Call (RPC) interfaces to the kernel; can also be used to reinitialize this information.
netstat(TC) displays statistical information about TCP/IP; it is particularly helpful for identifying physical network problems.
ping(ADMN) reports roundtrip time and packet loss statistics. Use ping to ensure a network connection can be made between hosts.
