well restarting portmap and nfs helped, and i don't want now to revert back to faulty config.
i was getting this mesage when booting my diskless workstations: mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking. Either use '-o nolocks' to keep locks local, or start statd. /root was mounted OK of course, because if not, it wouldn't boot at all - problem was with /home and other directories mounted by mountall init scripts - after complete boot, in gdm, there was no /home , i had to once again invoke mount -a (when gdm was running) - i solved it by using rc.local < dirty solution ;) portmap and nfs services were starting, but this error message was showing up anyway thanks to this thread i found out, that maybe starting statd was racing with mounting /var by nfs in read write mode or something like this, so i thought that restarting portmap and nfs services in single user mode, before any extra NFS shares are mounted (/home) will solve the problem, and it works fine now. no error messages during boot process. i don't really know if it qualifies for new bug or not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525154 Title: mountall for /var races with rpc.statd -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
