I have the XBIAN on a RPi and I cannot start NFS server properly. I noticed that the /etc/init.d/rpcbind does not exist. That seems to be rather important file, base on Google results.

That my error message at RPi:

Code:

# /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

[ ok ] Stopping NFS kernel daemon: mountd nfsd.

[ ok ] Unexporting directories for NFS kernel daemon....

[ ok ] Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon....

[....] Starting NFS kernel daemon: nfsd

[warn] Not starting: portmapper is not running ... (warning).

And on a client I see:

Code:

mount.nfs4: trying text-based options 'rsize=32768,wsize=32768,addr=192.168.0.2,clientaddr=192.168.0.10'

mount.nfs4: mount(2): Connection refused

mount.nfs4: Connection timed out

I managed the address the problem of missing rpcbind file. There is something wrong with xbian-update, but after downloading rpcbind package and unpacking it with dpkg

Code:

# apt-get download rpcbind                           

Get:1 Downloading rpcbind 0.2.0-8 [42.7 kB]

Fetched 42.7 kB in 0s (127 kB/s)   

# dpkg  --unpack rpcbind_0.2.0-8_armhf.deb                     

(Reading database ... 27598 files and directories currently installed.)

Preparing to replace rpcbind 0.2.0-8 (using rpcbind_0.2.0-8_armhf.deb) ...

Unpacking replacement rpcbind ...

I got rpcbind.dpkg-new. A bit of configuration and rpcbind works fine:

Code:

mv  /etc/init.d/rpcbind.dpkg-new /etc/init.d/rpcbind

update-rc.d rpcbind defaults 15

But still not 100% luck with nfs-server.

Actually problem is fix now. The rest was wrong configuration in /etc/exports on server and /etc/fstab on client.
