What is NFS and NFS service
NFS is the network file system, which is used to mount or link the file system or simply folders from one linux machine to another linux machine.
This mounting makes folders and files transparently available to the other linux machines across the network.
NFS service
NFS service is the linux service application which runs nfs server on the background, so that nfs clients can access.
How to start the NFS file system
service nfs start
or
service nfs restart
or
/etc/init.d/nfs start
or
/etc/init.d/nfs restart
But before starting nfs service you should make sure that portmap service is running, this is because nfs service depends on portmap service
How to start portmap service
service portmap start
or
service portmap restart
or
/etc/init.d/portmap start
or
/etc/init.d/portmap restart
