Hey all sorry for the long post,
I had to do something I really didn't want to do this weekend. I
had to reboot my server because of NFS. This is a little 486 that
runs NFS, Apache, dhcpd, named, and all the other normal services,
along with being my internet dialup server and IP MASQ server.
This system has been running without a single problem since last
August (of course it only serves my 2 home computers so it
doesn't really get a heavy load).
At any rate, something strange happened to NFS, that was keeping
me from mounting any file systems on my other machines. So I
telneted in (on account of it not having a monitor) and figured
I could probably just stop the nfs services and restart them.
I stopped and started them via the /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs script.
When it tried to restart nfs, it complained that the address was
already in use. I looked up the ports via netstat, and there
was nothing unusual. I figured it was something
to do with rpc. So I went hog wild, and stoped the nfs services,
and the portmaper, and unloaded all the kernel modules relating
to NFS (nfsd lockd sunrpc), figuring that would definitely do it
... nope. Same stupid error after starting everything back up
(I even tried waiting for about 12 hours between start and stop).
The error it was printing was:
nfssvc: Address already in use
I also checked the output of rpcinfo -p, but that did not
indicate that there were any nfs services mapped at all.
Only the rpc.nfsd actually had problems starting, the mountd
and lock stuff started without an incident. Anybody know
How I could have further debugged the problem? or maybe
what the problem could have been?
Here's contents from /var/log/messages for the nfs shutdown:
Feb 10 10:57:49 firewall nfs: Shutting down NFS services: succeeded

Anybody got any Ideas?
