I read a lot of articles and it seems it should be pretty simple to install NFS in Raspbian. Just installed the three packages rpcbind nfs-common nfs-kernel-server and I'm getting this error:

I also found a lot of bugreports related to these messages but none seem to apply to my specific situation. Any idea what this may be about? Thanks!

  • none seem to apply to my specific situation what is your specific situation? If the bug reports relate to the messages, then how is your situation different?

  • There were many reports around, describing how each was not applying seemed to require a bit. Sometimes the report was related to a older version than the one I have. Other times changes to systemd files I do not have were suggested, etc...

Reset to default

The Jessie systemd service had a known bug, but this is now fixed.

The only thing you have to do under Stretch is install nfs-kernel-server - this now seems to have a proper systemd service, and rpcbind is now included by default.

You do have to configure /etc/exports to export home directory.

  • So what is the package you are suggesting to install?

I wasn't able to find the root cause of the problem. A single reboot was however sufficient to make NFS work perfectly fine.
