nfs / mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'rpcbind' failed

[Gary Artim]

Hi --

Applied updates tonight and now both servers that connect to my nfs
server are failing to
connect, complete error messge is:

mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'rpcbind' failed: RPC Error: Program
not registered
mount.nfs: internal error

stuck with basically 2 down clients since all directories are nfs'ed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

rpm -qa|grep nfs
nfs-utils-1.1.2-9.fc9.x86_64
nfs-utils-lib-1.1.1-5.fc9.x86_64


i tried reverting back to
nfs-utils-1.1.2-2.fc9.x86_64

no help....

wget
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/nfs-utils/1.1.2/10.fc9/x86_64/...
yum remove nfs-utils
rpm -Uvh  nfs-utils-1.1.2-10.fc9.x86_64.rpm  (( on both the server and
the clients ))

fixed my problem, fyi.

after some digging around I found that the kernel task
[lockd] is missing on one of the systems. The other the
[lockd] magically reappeared and nfs is working on it.

I know that somehow /etc/init.d/nfslock spawn this kernel task, but not
sure why this would be happening. It seemed to begin with installing
nfs-utils, but I'm to tired to go on investigating. Please help if you can,

thanks Gary
