[CentOS] Setting up NFS on Centos 6.6

[cl at qgenuity.com]

Hi Ashishkumar,

Thank you for the advice.

Unfortunately, the final part of "step one" from the link that you gave
(service nfs start) is what causes the error that I listed in my initial
email.

FATAL: Module nfsd not found.
FATAL: Error running install command for nfsd
Starting NFS services:  exportfs: internal: no supported addresses in
nfs_client
exportfs: 127.0.0.1:/dir-to-share: No such file or directory

                                                           [  OK  ]
Starting NFS quotas:                                       [  OK  ]
Starting NFS mountd:                                       [  OK  ]
Starting NFS daemon: rpc.nfsd: Unable to access /proc/fs/nfsd errno 2 (No
such file or directory).
Please try, as root, 'mount -t nfsd nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd' and then restart
rpc.nfsd to correct the problem

Thanks!
