Whenever i try to start the nfs server using /sbin/init.d/nfs.server start
i am getting the following message

starting NFS SERVER networking

starting up the portmapper
portmap already started, using pid: 579
exportfs error: nothing to export.
Reading in /etc/exports
starting up the mount daemon
/usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
nfsd: plock failed: Not enough space
starting up the NFS daemons
/usr/sbin/nfsd 4
starting up the Status Monitor daemon
rpc.statd already started, using pid: 619
starting up the Lock Manager daemon
rpc.lockd already started, using pid: 625


The nfs server is not starting and i am not able to access the shares from network. Please help.

Not sure about this as I have not seen this before but it appears to me that the error messages are telling you that nfs is already running.

Have you tried running &quot;ps -fe|grep 579&quot; (579 being the 1st pid mentioned in the error report). [sig]<p>Ged Jones<br><a href= > </a><br>Top man[/sig]
 
try (when it's quiet....!)
[tt]
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop && /sbin/init.d/nfs.server start
[/tt]

Hello:

This message (nfsd: plock failed) is usually printed because the systemhas run out of lockable memory. I suggest that you try tuning the kernel parameters for nproc or unlockable_mem to see if we can alleviate this problem.
Why don´t you use sar -v 1 3 and see if your nfile
parameter is OK?
Other test is to use ps -ef|wc -l and see if the processes
running are reaching the nproc value.
