Hello list, Problem: from time to time, the NFS server fails to fully start at boot. The "modprobe nfsd" has clearly happened, but the nfsd kernel threads are not present. Mount requests from clients are rejected with "RPC program not registered". If I then "rcnfssserver start" by hand, everything is started properly. I've looked at the logs, but there's no error message. The usual NFS startup entries are just not there. I added a "sleep 5" instruction in /etc/init.d/nfsserver, at the very beginning of the "start" section. Since then, I've not had the problem any more.
Hope this can help someone else. Ph. A. -- *Philippe Andersson* Unix System Administrator IBA Particle Therapy | Tel: +32-10-475.983 Fax: +32-10-487.707 eMail: pan@iba-group.com http://www.iba-worldwide.com
