G'day again
Today I noticed that I again couldn't connect to one FC6 box through
NFS. service nfs restart gives:
Shutting down NFS mountd: [ OK ]
Shutting down NFS daemon: [ OK ]
Shutting down NFS quotas: [ OK ]
Shutting down NFS services: [ OK ]
Starting NFS services: [FAILED]
Starting NFS quotas: [ OK ]
Starting NFS daemon: [ OK ]
Starting NFS mountd: [ OK ]
Thinking it may be linked to NFS issues a few ago, I did a yum update
nfs* which updated nfs-utils-1.0.10-7.fc6.i386.rpm. However I still had
the Starting NFS services [FAILED]. /var/log/messages shows:
Apr 26 19:14:06 Ipex mountd[4346]: Caught signal 15, un-registering and
exiting.
Apr 26 19:14:11 Ipex kernel: nfsd: last server has exited
Apr 26 19:14:11 Ipex kernel: nfsd: unexporting all filesystems

option list

NFSv4 state recovery directory
Apr 26 19:14:12 Ipex kernel: NFSD: starting 90-second grace period
This syntax has worked up till now:
[root at Ipex ~]# cat /etc/exports
/pub Coral(rw, sync) Lockie(rw, sync)
/usr/local/iso/zod Coral(rw, sync) Lockie(rw, sync)
[root at Ipex ~]# uname -r
2.6.18-1.2868.fc6
Is the problem with portmap or /etc/exports? Any and all suggestions
appreciated.
