To all who took an interest, and Neil Brown who gave help: I've got the nfs server working now. At the end there were several issues (note that we're on dual-MIPS embedded system, starting off with a very minimal system because of space constraints): - /etc/services was not correct - no network loopback interface - trying to export part of an NFSROOT (imported) file system - /etc/exports netmask problem - having to run portmap on client machine as well - missing fsid option in exports file :-(I'm not 100% sure that ALL of the above were/are critical) I temporarily also used the unfs3 server with success, but eventually got the knfsd working. Thanks for the help.
