Hi,  
I am trying to enable NFS Server on my suse 12.2 with kernel 4.4.103-92.53-default  
After following the guide: [https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-12/book\_sle\_admin/data/sec\_nfs\_configuring-nfs-server.html](https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-12/book_sle_admin/data/sec_nfs_configuring-nfs-server.html)  
When trying to showmount -e IP from remote CentOS machine to the Suse, I receive error: clnt\_create: RPC: Program not registered

This means the nfs server is not working well,  
This is the log i receive when I systemctl start nfs-server:  
linux-7mqw:/home/ilan # systemctl start nfs-server  
A dependency job for nfs-server.service failed. See ‘journalctl -xe’ for details.
