Refer to the Official Red Hat Linux Reference Guide for a list of options that can be specified in the
/etc/exports file.
Each time you change /etc/exports, you must tell the NFS daemons to examine it for new infor-
mation, or reload the configuration file:
/sbin/service nfs reload
10.3.1 Starting and Stopping the Server
On the server that is exporting NFS filesystems, the nfs service must be running.
View the status of the NFS daemon with the command
/sbin/service nfs status
Start the NFS daemon with the command
/sbin/service nfs start
Stop the NFS daemon with the command
/sbin/service nfs stop
To start the nfs service at boot time, use the command:
/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 nfs on
You can also use ntsysv or serviceconf to configure which services start at boot time. Refer to Chap-
ter 8, Controlling Access to Services for details.
