NFS - Network File System

Starting the NFS server :

Make sure you have the applications installed.
Make sure networking is up and running.
Verify the nfs is running:

            [root@Hamming ~]# service nfs status                       [ OK ]
            rpc.mountd (pid 4858) is running...
            nfsd (pid 4852 4851 4850 4849 4848 4847 4846 4845) is running...
            rpc.rquotad (pid 4836) is running...

If NFS is not running, then you will see the following:

            [root@Hamming ~]# service nfs status
            rpc.mountd is stopped
            nfsd is stopped
            rpc.rquotad is stopped

You can start the service as follows:

            [root@Hamming ~]# service nfs start
            Starting NFS services:                                     [ OK ]
            Starting NFS quotas:                                       [ OK ]
            Starting NFS daemon:                                       [ OK ]
            Starting NFS mountd:                                       [ OK ]
