To test if an NFS server is accessible, use the command showmount. To do this, open a console and enter
# showmount -e localhost
in this case localhost will be queried for NFS shares ("exports") that it provides.
In case the nfs service is not started you might get the following error message:
clnt_create: RPC: Program not registered
Stupid error message, right? Anyway after starting the NFS service using the command
/etc/init.d/nfs-user-server start || /etc/init.d/nfsserver start
you will find an output telling you what is available via NFS like this:
# showmount -e localhost Export list for localhost: /public *
That means you can mount the following:
mount localhost:/public /mnt
If you get an error message
portmapper not running
Start the following service:
/etc/init.d/rpcbind start
