NFS on Ubuntu

1 Kudo

Network File System (NFS)

Setting the host

1 - Install NFS Service on host typing:

$sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server

2 - Create symbolic link to ltib/rootfs

$sudo ln -s <ltib instalation folder>/rootfs /tftpboot/rootfs

3 - Setup exports typing:

$sudo gedit /etc/exports

and add the following line:

/tftpboot/rootfs/ *(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)

4 - Restart the NFS server:

$sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

Now the host is ready to use NFS

Setting Target Linux Image to use NFS

1. Run LTIB configuration by typing:

$cd <ltib instalation folder>

$./ltib -c

2 . On first page menu, go to "Target Image Generation -> Options"

3. Select the option NFS only and exit LTIB configuration to compile with the new configuration.

4. LTIB should start new compiling and create a new Linux image on /<ltib instalation folder>/rootfs/boot/zImage

5. Copy the created image on /<ltib instalation folder>/rootfs/boot/zImage to /tftpboot/zImage

6. The system is ready to run with NFS. The root file system on target will be located on host on /<ltib instalation folder>/rootfs/

Hello, I try to create NFS Server on LS104ARDB,

however, I run Restart the NFS server:

$sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart 

device show:
Restarting nfs-kernel-server (via systemctl): nfs-kernel-server.serviceA dependency job 
for nfs-server.service failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for details.

Do you know how I can figure out this issue?

Thanks you
