(I know you know this, but...) It means that nfsd is probably already running.  Check the Services tab.  If it's not running, SSH in (or use the console) to run netstat -an.  I have seen FreeNAS lose track of a service, very rarely - I don't know why.

Hm, wait, there should be a port# after the colon.  Go to Services->NFS settings (the wrench icon) and make sure the three "bind port" fields are *really* empty, no spaces or tabs hidden in them.

Make sure NFS is set to "start on boot".  Then reboot.  Don't rely on freenas' rc service framework when troubleshooting weird stuff like this.

Beyond that... dunno, let us know when you figure it out?

I'm trying to get FreeNAS (based on FreeBSD) to serve up NFS shares. It keep failing with

 

nfsd: Can't bind to tcp addr *: Address already in use

 

Which doesn't make sense. I tried binding to a specific address (the IP address of this server) and I get the same message, but with the IP address instead of *.

 

No other services are running on this server, other than http (80). Where do I start?

 

Thanks,

Kevin
