Package: nfs-kernel-server
Version: 1:1.1.1~git-20070709-3
Severity: normal
Hi.
I get this message whenever I restart nfs-kernel-server (dmesg).
nfsd: unexporting all filesystems
RPC: failed to contact portmap (errno -5).
NFSD: Using /var/lib/nfs/v4recovery as the NFSv4 state recovery
directory
NFSD: starting 90-second grace period
This message was printed once in dmesg:
lockd_up: makesock failed, error=-5
I don't have iptables rules in this host.
I don't know if this is actually a bug, but this message
had me looking for it for a while and confused me :)
I couldn't mount NFS shares from other hosts because
portmap was bound to the loopback interface.
Regards,
Nelson.-
