bad nfs mounting
# uname -a
Linux Knoppix 2.6.24.4 #2 SMP PREEMPT... (aka 5.3.1)
# portmap
#
# mount -t nfs 192.168.1.2 /nfsmnt
mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking
Either use '-o nolocks' to keep locks local, or start statd.
#
# mount -t nfs -o nolocks 192.168.1.2 /nfsmnt
mount.nfs: Unsupported nfs mount option: nolocks
#
# ls -l /etc/init.d | grep rpc
#
# ls -l /etc/init.d | grep stat
# pppstatus
#
I looked for clues in /etc/init.d/nfs-common and /etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh for
clues how rpc.statd is supposed to get started, but couldn't recognize any.
Why does mount.nfs tell me to try an option that it cannot recognize? It used
to be that all I had to remember to mount nfs running Knoppix was to start
portmap. What's the current 5.3.1 secret to accessing nfs? Is it the same in
all versions 5.3.1 or newer?
BTW, I tried 6.4.1 or so first, but only get a black screen shortly after
init (3) starts. Intel 945G. I tried several cmdline options that failed to
help before giving that up in favor of 5.3.1.
