RE: cygwin nfs server


Hello Hugh,

I have:

    cygrunsrv.exe (two of these - you have three instances ...)
    rpc.nfsd.exe
    rpc.mountd.exe

I do not have PORTMAP.EXE !

>Try exporting some directories and see if you can mount them from your
Unix/Linux machine.

My Linux board is not ready yet (I am working now at home alone ... - no
other machines, besides the laptop and the board)
 - as soon as I will set my board up, I'll try.

Thanks,
Best Regards,
Alex

It shows up on my task list as "PORTMAP.EXE" (capital letters for some
reason.) It should get started automatically when nfsd and mountd are
started.

It sounds promising. Try exporting some directories and see if you can
mount them from your Unix/Linux machine.

I looked at my task list when nfsd is running. The following things seem
to be nfs-related:

    PORTMAP.EXE
    cygrunsrv.exe (three of these)
    rpc.nfsd.exe
    rpc.mountd.exe

Hi Hugh,

Yes, I did run nfs-server-config prior to cygrunsrv commands 

>It worked for me when I told it to install mountd, nfsd and portmap as
>Windows services NOT as inetd or xinetd services.

but I ran it without any arguments - I am not sure how did you run it per
above words of yours: "I told it" ?

I have:

nfs-server              2.2.47-2  (same as yours)
cygrunsrv               1.0-1     (you have 0.96-2)

I just downloaded and installed those yesterday ...

When I look for installed services (I ran Windows XP Pro):
(Right click on "My Computer"->Manage->"Services and Applications
"->Services)
in the list of services I see "Cygwin mountd" and "Cygwin nfsd" but I don't
see "Portmap" service (what is the exact name for that service ?).

By the way, today I just rebooted my computer and now both "Cygwin mountd"
and "Cygwin nfsd" (which are automatic) are shown as started and running ...
So does it mean I om OK now ?

Thanks,
Alex

I did run that program.

It worked for me when I told it to install mountd, nfsd and portmap as
Windows services NOT as inetd or xinetd services.

Use the "Task Damager" <Control><Alt><Delete> to see if you have the
portmap service running before you try to start nfsd or mountd. Start it
"by hand" if necessary.

Also let me know if you have more recent software than I do.
If necessary, I will update my software to match yours and then
repeat the installation procedure to see what has broken.

I'll try to give you a longer reply tomorrow, but here are
some quick ideas:

> Subject: cygrunsrv -S mountd fails: Error starting a service:
> QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062 ?

The services nfsd and mound both depend on the "portmap" service.
Your error "1062" translates to "The service has not been started."
My guess is that the portmap service is not installed or is not running.

It might help me to know about the versions of the cygwin packages you
are using. I'm running:

    nfs-server-2.2.47-2
    cygrunsrv-0.96-2

If you have newer versions than I do, you may be seeing a new bugs
of some kind. If you have older packages, you may be seeing older
bugs that have been fixed.

Another idea: Take a look at this program:

    /usr/bin/nfs-server-config

If you run this, it is supposed to help you configure the nfs server.
It's a shell script, so you can study what it is trying to do with your
text editor.

I'll try to spend more time with you on this over the weekend.

Hi Hugh,

Do you have any idea (as an author of the "How To") ?

By the way are your instructions in "How To" :
************************
Starting the server
Run: 

	Start Menu/Programs/Administrative Tools/Services There are three
services associated with NFS: 

	Cygwin mountd
	Cygwin nfsd
**************************
specifically Windows 2000 related ?

On Windows XP the equivalent to above would be:

Right click on "My Computer"->Manage->"Services and Applications "->Services

Using above (as well as using alternative "cygrunsrv -S mountd" from the
cygwin shell - see below) fail start the "Cygwin mountd" service for me ...

Thanks,
Alex

Hi David,

I am also getting the same error as you (an I also I have XP Pro) - did you
get any explanation for it ?

apovolot@USPITLAD104868 /cygdrive/c/cygwin/etc
$ cygrunsrv -S portmap

my entry in /etc/export is set to:
~/fadsroot 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(ro, no_root_squash)

but I do not have yet the board with IP address 192.168.0.0 configured and
network connected to the laptop - so could I start mountd daemon (service) ?
-
 when i do that I repeatedly get error ...

Dear Guys!

I have the same problem, I have XP Pro. The portmap starts fine, but the
nfsd and the mountd give this error:

cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.

I run these commands but the problem still exists.
chmod 755 /usr/sbin/* /usr/bin/*
eval "`mount -m | sed 's/ -u / -s /'`"

I don't know what happened with the XP or the Cygwin, I used the nfsd and
mountd without problems earlier.

Thanks a lot!
