So I figured this morning it was time to setup NFS. Just to make sure I do not have to sync everytime I want to update one of the boxes that is not going to move at all anyway. So NFS support was compiled into the kernel and nfs-utils emerged. Setting up the server was a piece of cake. Starting the server went like a charm. But sending the mount command from the client caused a segfault on the server!

The segfault was not located in NFSD but in portmap. However the only information I got from the logs was that It did do a segfault. So very helpfull. Luckly the portmap had a verbose output mode I noticed that It wanted to open /etc/hosts.deny but couldn’t and tought a Segfault was a good idea. So be sure to fix your permission when starting an nfs server

Now it all works. Mouting works like a charm and I do not have to sync everytime on the boxes. Saves me some time
