 |

Such is the shortage of IP addresses where I work, I'm forced to access two LaCie ethernet disks using private IP addreses. I've wiped the horrid, crippled version of Windows off these and replaced them with Gentoo. They need to export nfs shares to a server running Debian, and I've added an eth0:0 interface to this with the address 192.168.0.1.
The LaCie disks and the server can ping each other, but there is a problem when I start NFS on the LaCie disks, thus (portmap has already been restarted):
| Code: |
* Starting NFS statd ... [ ok ]
* Exporting NFS directories ...
/etc/init.d/nfs: line 144: 10978 Killed $exportfs -r 1>&2
* Error exporting NFS directories [ !! ]
* Starting NFS daemon ... [ ok ]
* Starting NFS mountd ... [ ok ]
|
dmesg offers this information:
| Code: |
nfsd: last server has exited
nfsd: unexporting all filesystems
RPC: failed to contact portmap (errno -5).
NFSD: Using /var/lib/nfs/v4recovery as the NFSv4 state recovery directory
NFSD: starting 90-second grace period
|
Can anyone suggest what might be going on here?
Also, not related to this, would NAT/ip_forwarding work for these LaCie's in the usual manner? |
