Hi all. I spent some time this week looking into this bug. When NFS modules are probed, the following error occurs: svc: failed to register lockdv1 (errno 97).
Initial debug shows that the IPv4 lockd RPC services are started without issue, but all IPv6 lockd's fail. I see this on SLES10sp2 and all RHEL5's (even running the 2.6.30 kernel), but this issue is not seen on SLES11. I believe this is an issue with IPv6 support in the nfs-utils, but more investigation is needed. The problem is that IPV6 support in NFS requires a modern portmapper that supports protocol 4 (rpcinfo shows what protocol portmapper supports). Jon Mason confirmed that RHEL5.2, RHEL5.3, RHEL5.4, and SLES10sp2 all only have portmap v2 support as part of the distro. So the question is: Do we need IPV6 support for NFS in the backports? Neither Jon nor I think so. Also, people are always free to try a more modern portmapper if they like. Neil Brown maintains it at: http://neil.brown.name/portmap/ Not sure about rpms though. Thoughts? Can I close the bug as "wont fix" ? Thanks. -jeff _______________________________________________ ewg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ewg
