Greetings



I have found if hav teh following, mounting remote NFS shares works
BUT [/usr/sbin/]exportfs is missing so I cannot create new or alter
existing shares :



apt-get install apt-get install nfs-common portmap nfs-user-server

[ snip]

Anyone have any idea how to get NFS working without this involved
process?


Well .... yes.... ;-)

Is there any particular reason that you avoid the nfs-kernel-server
package? Here I just install that, and add shares to /etc/exports as
needed, with the relevant mount points. The server starts on boot, and
most of the time NFS works without a problem.

I have never used exportfs - I guess if you have a large network it might
save some time, but I would think you could achieve much the same result
with a script anyway.

Of course, you might have excellent reasons for your approach - they just
escape me ;-)

When I first set up nfs I found this URL quite useful:
