NFS - Network File System
NFS : Daemons Needed
NFS serving is taken care of by five daemons:
rpc.nfsd
: this does most of the work.
rpc.lockd
and
rpc.statd
: these handle file locking.
rpc.mountd
: this handles the initial mount requests.
rpc.rquotad
, which handles user file quotas on exported volumes.
Most recent Linux distributions will have startup scripts for these daemons.
The daemons are all part of the nfs-utils package
They may be either in the
/sbin
directory or the
/usr/sbin
directory.
If your distribution does not include them in the startup scripts, then then you should add them, configured to start in the following order:
rpc.portmap
rpc.mountd
,
rpc.nfsd
rpc.statd
,
rpc.lockd
(if necessary), and
rpc.rquotad
