Ams :
RedHat Linux installs nfs by default, and nfs is also activated when the system boots.
One can check whether nfs installed or not using the RPM command in conjunction
with the grep command to search for all installed nfs packages.
The following is an example to check:
[root# rpm -qa | grep nfs
redhat-config-nfs-1.1.3-1
nfs-utils-1.0.1-3.9
[root#
A blank list means that there is a need to install the required packages.
There is also a need to have the RPC rpcbind package installed, and the rpm
command can tell whether it is installed or not. Use rpm in conjunction with grep, to
check all the rpcbind applications installed or not.
The following is an example:
[root# rpm -q rpcbind
rpcbind-4.0-57
[root#
A blank list means that there is a need to install the required packages.
If nfs and rpcbind are not installed, they can be added fairly easily once find the nfsutils and rpcbind RPMs. Remember that RPM filenames usually start with the
software’s name and a version number, as in nfs-utils-1.1.3-1.i386.rpm.
