Hello I was updating my Ubuntu FAI-server to 12.04 beta2 and suddenly I couldn't mount the nfsroots anymore during netinstall.
The reason seems to be related to the upcoming /usr merge (http://lwn.net/Articles/477467/). /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server may contain: $PREFIX/bin/rpcinfo -u localhost nfs 3 >/dev/null 2>&1 || RPCMOUNTDOPTS="$RPCMOUNTDOPTS --no-nfs-version 3" But rpcinfo may still be located in /usr/sbin which makes the check fail and disable nfs3! Recommended solution: Update to a newer nfs-kernel-server package (e.g. 1:1.2.5-3ubuntu2) rpcinfo -u localhost nfs 3 >/dev/null 2>&1 || RPCMOUNTDOPTS="$RPCMOUNTDOPTS --no-nfs-version 3" afterwards test with 'rpcinfo -u localhost nfs 3' expected result: program 100003 version 3 ready and waiting bye thomas
