This was a classic Doh! moment.
and then started the service: -
I kept seeing: -
mount clntudp_create: RPC: Program not registered
when I was trying to check the status of my NFS exports: -
$ cat /etc/exports
/media/Software*(rw,no_root_squash)
using the command: -
$ showmount -e
It took me a few minutes to realise why.
NFS wasn't running, as evidenced by: -
$ chkconfig --list | grep -i nfs
nfs 0:off1:off2:off3:off4:off5:off6:off
nfslock 0:off1:off2:off3:on4:on5:on6:off
nfslock 0:off1:off2:off3:on4:on5:on6:off
I set the service to start at boot-up ( whenever run levels 3, 4 or 5 are started ): -
$ chkconfig --levels 345 nfs on
and validated this: -
$ chkconfig --list | grep -i nfs
nfs 0:off1:off2:off3:on4:on5:on6:off
nfslock 0:off1:off2:off3:on4:on5:on6:off
nfslock 0:off1:off2:off3:on4:on5:on6:off
and then started the service: -
$ service nfs start
Starting NFS services: [ OK ]
Starting NFS quotas: [ OK ]

Now I can see my exports: -
$ showmount -e
