Public bug reported:
On my system (a Xen virtual machine running karmic and acting as an NFS
client), I see the following during boot:
init: statd pre-start process (831) terminated with status 1
mountall: Event failed
Enabling console output in /etc/init/statd.conf shows that the error is
caused by statd's pre-start script attempting to start portmap when it
is already started. The pre-start script tries to avoid this by
checking portmap's status:
status portmap | grep -q start/running || start portmap
However adding debug statements showed that portmap's status at this
point was "start/spawned" rather than "start/running". I.e. portmap was
already in the process of being started but was not yet "running".
Simply changing that line to
status portmap | grep -q start/ || start portmap
solved the problem for me.
