[ILUG] NFS problem

[Kevin Philp]

I have one client that appears to be having NFS problems:

The system is Mandrake 10.1 (Client) and Mandrake 9.1 (Server)

/home is exported to each client

One new client was working a few days ago but on logging out the user said 
they got an error (they didn't know what) but this mornign they could not log 
in. I noticed the /home files had not been mounted or had lost the mount and 
on rebooting it failed to mount. 

I tried/checked the following:

The machine is talking to the network and has found the DHCP server and NIS 
server which sit on the same box as the NFS server. Also other clients are 
working fine. So the server and networking seem OK.

On the client I tried:

/etc/init.d/portmap restart - OK

/etc/init.d/nfslock restart - OK

/etc/init.d/netfsd - ERROR
Mounting NFS filesystems: Mount : RPC : programme not registered

rpcinfo -p shows a udp and tcp entry for portmapper and status.

Any suggestions?

Kevin.
