Thanks Owen. To run nfs server, should I install both nfs-common and
nfs-user-server, or just nfs-common?

Thank you.

Hi,

I got an error "E: Couldn't find package nfs" while trying to install
nfs server by calling "apt-get install nfs". Is the nfs wrong nfs
server package name?

Thank you.

Jim


Hey,
Try `apt-cache search nfs`
It should return the correct package names.
One of these is probably what you're after:

nfs-common - NFS support files common to client and server
nfs-kernel-server - support for NFS kernel server
nfs-user-server - User space NFS server


cheers,
Owen.





Hey,
nfs-kernel-server depends on nfs-common but I don't believe the
userspace server does. Running `apt-get install nfs-user-server` will
tell you of the dependencies and resolve them if it can. You can also
use `apt-cache depend nfs-user-server` to find out.

Thanks Owen, I installed nfs-user-server and added /etc/exports. But,
could not find exportfs in /sbin or /usr/sbin, I thought the exportfs
is included in nfs server packet, seems I got wrong. I did "apt-cache
search exportfs", nothing happened?

Thank you.

Jim



Interesting,
I have the kernel server installed along with nfs-common and I
have /usr/sbin/exportfs. Perhaps it comes with the common package.
I don't have any experience with the userspace server, the kernel
server is (by accounts/testimonials) faster & easier and I have physical
& root access to my servers so it's not an issue. Any particular reason
you're choosing the userspace server?

cheers,
Owen.

I've changed to kernel server, that works. I am from FC where
installation of packages are different to Debian.

Thank you Owen.

Jim
