NFS - Network File System

Starting the NFS server :

You can use chkconfig to set up NFS on reboot:

            [root@Hamming ~]# chkconfig --list nfs
            nfs             0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off

            [root@Hamming ~]# chkconfig nfs on
            [root@Hamming ~]# chkconfig --list nfs
            nfs             0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

Make sure portmap is also running:

[root@Hamming ~]# chkconfig --list portmap
portmap 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

Notice that portmap is set to on for run levels 3,4, and 5
You can check the status to see if it is currently running:

[root@Hamming ~]# service portmap status
portmap (pid 2367) is running...

If portmap is not running, then turn it on:

[root@Hamming ~]# service portmap start
Starting portmap: [ OK ]
