I think i found the answer; even though chkconfig reported that "rpcbind" was setup to start in run level 3, for some reason it was not running. After this was started; I was able to mount the NFS share. # who -r run-level 3 2012-02-16 19:19 # chkconfig --list rpcbind rpcbind 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off # service rpcbind status rpcbind is stopped # service rpcbind start Starting rpcbind: [ OK ] Thanks, On 2/17/12, unix syzadmin <unixsyzadmin@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > I am getting the following error on RHEL6 for NFS mount.
