statd/lockd hang?

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

Has anyone seen this? Suggestions?

I've been running a Debian desktop box as a nfs-server for a while.
Now I want to run nfs-client on there, too, so that I can mount a
directory of my laptop and back it up (the CD burner is on the
desktop).

So I installed the nfs-client package and now I get:

  ...
  Starting NFS common utilities: statd lockd
  portmap: server locahost not responding, timed out
  portmap: server locahost not responding, timed out
  lockd_up: makesock failed, error=-5
  portmap: server locahost not responding, timed out
  lockdsvc: Input/output error

I've tried removing and reinstalling the nfs-* packages, but it didn't
help.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
