Linux: clnt_create: RPC: Program not registered

linuxmount

NFS mounts recently automatically got un-mounted. When I checked, the NFS service status it was shown to be running.

[root@hsluasrepo]# service nfs status
rpc.svcgssd is stopped
rpc.mountd (pid 4083) is running...
nfsd (pid 4148 4147 4146 4145 4144 4143 4142 4141) is running...
rpc.rquotad (pid 4079) is running...

[root@hsluasrepo]# service rpcbind status
rpcbind (pid  4203) is running...

[root@hsluasrepo common]# rpcinfo -p 10.80.3.154
   program vers proto   port  service
    100000    4   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    3   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    4   udp    111  portmapper
    100000    3   udp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper

But showmount output was showing an error.

[root@hsluasrepo ]# showmount -e 10.80.3.154
clnt_create: RPC: Program not registered

After restarting the NFS service, showmount output displayed the NFS server's export list.

Can anyone tell me the root cause of this issue and How to avoid this problem in future?

you have to:

root@10.80.3.154]$ service nfs status
rpc.svcgssd is stopped
rpc.mountd is stopped
nfsd is stopped
rpc.rquotad is stopped

root@10.80.3.154]$ service nfs start
Starting NFS services:                                     [  OK  ]
