nfs mount:ind ip : RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Timed out

what kind error is this?
what can I do?
 
RPC = (Remote Procedure Call)

See if your workstation is running daemons nfsd and statd...

ps -ef | grep nfsd
ps -ef | grep statd
 

I believe that you have nfs server and client reversed. This is a nfs mount from you (the client) to a remote nfs
server that is failing. The remote must have nfsd and statd running, not the client. It must also be running rpcbind to serve the rpc calls.

Look in your /etc/vfstab for a nfs mount entry, or it could be something in your automount entries (if you run automountd). There should be an entry corresponding to that name/ip.

A good test is to run:

rpcinfo -p name
to see the rpc running on the remote server.
showmount -e name
to see the shares exported by that server.

Elgrandeperro is correct... Instead of nfsd, you should see lockd...
