On my Raspbian jessie I have NFS server running:

 $ sudo service rpcbind status
● rpcbind.service - LSB: RPC portmapper replacement
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/rpcbind)
  Drop-In: /run/systemd/generator/rpcbind.service.d

           └─9809 /sbin/rpcbind -w

Sep 19 18:33:01 raspberrypi rpcbind[9800]: Starting rpcbind daemon....

and on my client machine mac

I am trying to mount the shared drive

$ sudo mount -o rsize=32768,wsize=32768,intr,noatime -t nfs 192.168.1.100:/home/pi/USBHDD /Volumes/USBHDD
mount_nfs: can't mount /home/pi/USBHDD from 192.168.1.100 onto /Volumes/USBHDD: RPC prog. not avail

  • Can you use mount -v and add the output to the question? Also I assume that you did export USBHDD on your Raspbian and that the local USBHDD directory existis, correct?

  • Are you really using * after the IP address when you run the command? And where do you get the error mentioned in the title, it doesn't show up in the question itself?

  • @patrix yes USBHDD exists at both client and server Sep 20, 2016 at 5:59
  • @patrix : sorry i missed pasting the complete text , I have updated it now. Sep 20, 2016 at 16:32
  • What does rpcinfo -p 192.168.1.100 show? See also: discussions.apple.com/thread/1356126?start=0&tstart=0

Try this:

pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart
0

I received this error message on the client side when the NFS server had crashed. It was resolved by

sudo systemctl restart nfs-server

on the server side

I received this error message on the client side when firewalld was blocking the mountd port on the server side. I could imagine this happening when firewalld was also blocking the port assigned to nfs. To remediate this issue, I added a new firewalld exception. Since the mountd port was dynamically generated (I didn't set the value in /etc/sysconfig/nfs as recommended here and here), I had to find which port to add an exception for. This document relates the command to use is rpcbind -p, and then search for mountd. In my case, this turned out to be port 20048. Finally, I made sure that all the ports were allowed through firewalld. Since nfs needs rpc, I allowed port 111 (both TCP and UDP), port 2049 (both TCP and UDP), and port 20048 (both TCP and UDP).

I'm not totally sure on how to do that last step on Raspbian (and I doubt you care, since my answer is almost four years too late), but that might get you up and running.


I noticed that you put the output of rpcinfo in the comments to your answer, so I'll include my "after" image for rpcinfo pointing at my server.
