This seems like a trivial problem, but I can not find a solution for several days now.

I am trying to configure an nfs client on ubuntu 9.10 (64 bit). All the tutorials I've read say I need to restart a few things, such as portmap, and also nfs-common. Specifically:

sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-common restart

However, this file (/etc/init.d/nfs-common) does not exist.

sudo apt-get install nfs-common

returns "nfs-common is already the newest version."

When I try:

sudo service nfs restart

I get:

nfs: unrecognized service

What am I missing here?

Thank you to the kind soul who can help me with this.

OK - well. Things are working for me now. Here's what I did. I installed a fresh version Ubuntu and ran:

sudo apt-get install nfs-common

Whatever client processes are needed started up just fine, and I am able to run mount without issue.

Here's the output:
