How to mount NFS 3 volumes on Fedora 17?

Not sure if this will help because I did not see any SElinux errors.

After installing Fedora 17 I upgrade to the latest release but did not reboot. I did log out and back in because of the updates to several gnome packages. (I did not notice that the update included an update of systemd as well.)

To mount my NFS shares I installed nfs-utils and tried to start the rpcbind service:

sudo systemctl start rpcbind.service

I received the following error:

Failed to issue method call: Unit var-run.mount failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status var-run.mount' for details.

var-run.mount appears to have been removed recently yum whatprovides shows that systemd-44-8.fc17 still had it.

Several other NFS services threw the same error.

In my case simply rebooting helped. So you might want to update to the latest packages and reboot. (If someone knows a way to make systemd reread itś config without rebooting please let me know.)

the name of the service that you have to start is 'nfslock' in fedora 17 so:

systemctl start nfslock

it is already enabled after you install nfs-utils
