[ale] NFS Problems

[James P. Kinney III]

That sounds like the portmap process isn't running. Stop NFS and restart
portmap.

service nfs stop
service portmap restart
service nfs start

If that solves the problem then make sure the services are started
properly at boot up (why are you rebooting anyway ?!?!)

chkconfig --list portmap

It should be running (i.e. "On") for service level 3 (and 5 if you run
X)

Fix it with:

chkconfig --level 35 portmap on

Now go to /etc/rc3.d and look at the "S" links. Make sure that the
portmap has a lower number than the nfs S-link. Make sure the nfs has a
lower number that portmap for the K-links to stop nfs before portmap.

Do the same for /etc/rc5.d if you run X.
