NFS failing unless server restarted
I've got an NFS client and server both running sarge, and working fine
last week (with packages 1-2 months old). All I've changed since then
is: full upgrade to latest sarge on Saturday
built ipv6 modules for the kernel (not loaded)
The server is 192.168.1.3 (seagoon) and the client is 192.168.1.1 (bloodnok)
I can mount NFS on the client (/home) but only by ssh'ing into the
server and restarting nfs-kernel-server and portmap. The client mounts
/home at boot with these messages
Starting portmapper... Mounting remote filesystems...
mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused
/var/log/syslog on the server - this is when it mounts after manually
restarting the nfs-kernel-server
Aug 11 10:45:55 seagoon kernel: nfsd: last server has exited
Aug 11 10:45:55 seagoon kernel: nfsd: unexporting all filesystems
Aug 11 10:45:55 seagoon rpc.statd[1343]: Received erroneous SM_UNMON request from seagoon for 192.168.1.1
Aug 11 10:46:01 seagoon rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from (null):1014 for /home (/home)
/etc/hosts.allow (server)
ALL: ALL
portmap: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
mountd: .localdomain
/etc/hosts.deny is commented out
/etc/hosts.allow (client)
portmap: 192.168.1.3
ALL: .localdomain
ALL: 192.168.1.0/24
mountd: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
I've run a process check (ps -e|grep rpc) and rpc.mountd seems to get
killed off when the NFS filesystem is exported.
So, with all the nfs stuff in this group recently, has anyone got a clue?
