Hi,
I want to boot from my Knoppix-CD and then start up a NFS-Server and mount a directory from my Knoppix-CD
over NFS on another system.
After booting from Knoppix-CD i created a simple /etc/exports-file:
/home/knoppix *(ro,sync)

Then i started portmapper and nfs-kernel-server, which both are preinstalled on the Knoppix-CD:
Code:
/etc/init.d/portmap start
/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start
Finally i tried to mount that export from the other system:
Code:
mkdir /mnt/nfs
mount -t nfs -o nolock Knoppix_IP:/home/knoppix /mnt/nfs
But all i got is this error:
Code:
mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused
mount: nfsmount failed: Bad file descriptor
mount: Mounting Knoppix_IP:/home/knoppix on /mnt/nfs failed: invalid argument
I have another Knoppix-System as HD-install. Following the above steps on this system works as it should.
I tried to export different directories than /home/knoppix but that brought no success.
The filesystem of the Live-CD resides on a ramdisk. Could there be an issue with accessing directories over NFS on a ramdisk? Had anybody success starting an NFS-Server from the CD?
Thanks in advance,
karl sand
