Hi, all, |
2 |
|
3 |
I have 2 gentoo machines, lotus and tobey. tobey is an nfs server to |
4 |
lotus. |
5 |
Today I upgraded tobey, and now nfs doesn't work. Previously, it worked for |
6 |
years. The symptoms are: |
7 |
|
8 |
1) mount -v /mnt/tobey on lotus returns |
9 |
mount: RPC: Program not registered |
10 |
|
11 |
2) /etc/init.d/nfs start on tobey produces no output, no running |
12 |
nfsd daemons, and exit code 1. |
13 |
|
14 |
3) There is nothing particularly informative (to me) |
15 |
in the system logs. There is one instance of |
16 |
|
17 |
tobey rc-scripts: ERROR: cannot start nfs as rpc.statd could not start |
18 |
|
19 |
after the reboot following today's upgrade. |
20 |
|
21 |
I've started rpc.statd by hand and then attempted to start nfs, |
22 |
but nfs still does not start. There is no information in the system |
23 |
log explaining why. |
24 |
|
25 |
4) I've done the usual google search, and followed the advice of |
26 |
other people who have had this problem, and I have read the |
27 |
available Gentoo Wiki documents that discuss this problem |
28 |
and followed the advice there. The result: nfs still does not |
29 |
start. |
30 |
|
31 |
5) tobey is a machine which doesn't like to start various daemons |
32 |
when it boots despite their being managed by rc-update. I have |
33 |
no idea why - this situation started a few months ago after an |
34 |
upgrade. I start them by hand after reboots. |
35 |
|
36 |
6) I always do revdep-rebuild and always follow the post installation |
37 |
instructions mailed by portage's elog facility. |
38 |
|
39 |
So, any brilliant ideas about why I can't start nfs or how to debug the |
40 |
problem? |
41 |
|
42 |
As always, thanks for your help! |
