[SOLVED] Can't start NFS server

snufkin · 2012-11-02 20:50:19

I've read the wiki page and I've been changing my config files accordingly. When I try to start it I get the following error (from journalctl):

Nov 02 21:41:47 arch sudo[11201]: dennis : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/home/dennis ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/systemctl start nfsd.

When I run mount -t nfsd nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd it says:

[dennis@arch ~]$ sudo mount -t nfsd nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd
mount: unknown filesystem type 'nfsd'

What to do? I've no idea how to solve this.

edit : changed quote tags to code --Inxsible

What happens if you just run systemctl start nfsd.service ?

Then I got another error message.

I found out what was wrong though. I had suspended the computer, which caused GNOME or whatever to mess with my session data. A reboot fixed the problem, although I'm sure a relog would've done the same.

Just want to say that I had the exact same problem and the suggested reboot fixed it -- cheers
