Thread: [Devil-Linux-discuss] NFSD startup script

Hello,

With Devel-Linux v1.6.0, I had problems with the NFSD service, and just find 
the solution : it is a bug in the NFSD startup script, because rpc.mountd is 
started before rpc.nfsd. So, /proc/fs/nfsd is not mounted when rpc.mountd 
starts and it don't works (error "rpc.mountd getfh failed function not 
implemented").

So, the/etc/init.d/nfsd contains :

...
start)
         echo -n "Starting NFS mountd..."
         loadproc /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd

         echo -n "Starting NFS nfsd..."
         loadproc /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd -N 4 -p $PORT $PROCESSES

         echo -n "Starting NFS statd..."
         loadproc /usr/sbin/rpc.statd
...

it must be :

...
start)
         echo -n "Starting NFS nfsd..."
         loadproc /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd -N 4 -p $PORT $PROCESSES

         echo -n "Starting NFS mountd..."
          loadproc /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd

         echo -n "Starting NFS statd..."
         loadproc /usr/sbin/rpc.statd
...

Like that, it works like a charm...

Best regards,

Bernard

Ooops... the "-N 4" is not in distribution, it's a private modification...

So, please read :  "loadproc /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd -p $PORT $PROCESSES"

Hey,

 

I’m not using NFS, can somebody else confirm that this change is needed?

So, I understand that this script was never well tested.

I did !

If you don't believe me, take a look at startup scripts from other working 
distributions like RHEL...

It is possible also to read the man page of NFSD :

"...
/The exportfs and //mountd programs (part of the nfs-utils package) expect to 
find this filesystem mounted at */proc/fs/nfsd* or */proc/fs/nfs*./
..."


Best regards

Bernard,

Please don't be offended. In cases where I have no clue (which happens  
quite often), I just like to get a second opinion to make sure that we  
do not introduce a new problem.
I'll add the fix to CVS on the weekend.

Since I updated PHP, I added your fix right away too. It's now in CVS  
and will be included in the next release.

Thanks for sending in the correction.
