Linux NFS Error: svc: failed to register nfsdv2 RPC service (errno 111)

ErrorsBy alex January 23, 2013 1 Comment

Earlier today I was troubleshooting NFS or Network File System issues on a Ubuntu Linux server and ran into some specific errors. Luckily the errors were easily resolved by restarting portmap on the server. Below I show the error output on the server end in more detail, how to resolve the issue, and testing the Network File System mount from OSX.

In the current scenario I setup NFS on a BackTrack Linux server and needed to test it quickly from OSX to make sure NFS mounts were advertising properly. Below are a couple quick commands to first display the available NFS mounts and second to mount the NFS drive on OSX to verify functionality.
