NFS service fails to restart

[Priyank Kothari]

Hello,

On a test server, NFS service is not working.

Now just because nfs is not restarting, some other services are also having trouble. 

Moreover, I could not find any nfs log file into /var/log/

I also updated NFS with newer version and turned off selinux.

There are some output that might be helpful.

Please let me know if you have any clue or need any info.

Many thanks!!!

[root@server ~]# sestatus

Hi Priyank,

There might be multiple reason for this problem.
1. Check the permission on /var partition.
2. Reboot of server might help you.
3. If possible reinstall nfs packages.
4. Also, from the description it looks like service is already stopped then then you are restarting  it. In that case you will get this "FAILED" messages.

Thanks & Regards,

Thanks Rahul for the reply.

The permission on /var is 755.

I have already rebooted server couple of time.

Also, NFS is running now. But it took 1 hour to restart.

How can i check what is making nfs to slow down this much?

Thank you,

Priyank

Check with the hostname and the entry proper match with /etc/hosts file

 

Thank you,
