Can't get NFS to work

[squareHat]

HELP!

Followed some instructions to get NFS working...

recompilled the kernel to have

<M> NFS file system support │ │
│ │[*] Provide NFSv3 client support │ │
│ │<M> NFS server support │ │
│ │[*] Provide NFSv3 server support │ │
│ │[*] Provide NFS server over TCP support (EXPERIMENTAL)

added

/ thunderbird5(rw,no_root_squash) speedracer(rw,no_root_squash)

to /etc/exports

I don't have a /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny (should I)

and when I /etc/init.d/nfs start i get

* Starting NFS statd... [ ok ] * Exporting NFS directories...
exportfs: /etc/exports [5]: No 'sync' or 'async' option specified for export "thunderbird5:/home".
Assuming default behaviour ('sync').
NOTE: this default has changed from previous versions
exportfs: /etc/exports [5]: No 'sync' or 'async' option specified for export "speedracer:/home".
Assuming default behaviour ('sync').
NOTE: this default has changed from previous versions
speedracer:/home: Function not implemented
thunderbird5:/home: Function not implemented [ ok ] * Starting NFS daemon...
* Error starting NFS daemon [ !! ]
* Starting NFS mountd... [ ok ]


when I look in the log I also get

Oct 8 08:15:31 thunderbird1 rpc.mountd: Caught signal 15, un-registering and exiting

This is the first time I have attempted to setup nfs, any hints suggestions

thanks

Could you post your entire /etc/exports. It appears there are other entries, and they may be your problem.

figured out the problem.

I had compiled the NFS kernel code as modules, recompiled them in the kernel. (I guess I could have loaded at boot time)

Also I found that I needed to start the portmapper
# /etc/init.d./portmap start
