This is affecting me as well. It started when I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10.
I am identifying machines with IPs, not DNS. I set it up as per this tutorial: https://mostlylinux.wordpress.com/network/nfshowto/ These instructions work fine for 10.04, 10.10, and 11.04. (However, the commands it describes for restarting services no longer apply in 10.10 and later; my workaround has been to simply reboot the machine instead, and that works fine). I still have machines running those older versions, and they still talk to each other, but the one running 11.10 is incommunicado. I did get the error message Tim mentioned about "/etc/exports.d: No such file or directory", but I simply created an empty directory at /etc/exports.d and that message no longer appears. But NFS still doesn't work. I have tried the workaround Joseph Brown describes but that doesn't seem to help. I would like to try the workaround where one uses /etc/network/interfaces instead of network-manager, but I have no idea how to do that. If someone could spell that out, at the user- friendliness level of the tutorial I mentioned above, that would be great. BTW, I know at least two other people who are using NFS on 10.04 LTS, using basically the same setup I have (from that same tutorial), and who probably would be upgrading to the upcoming LTS if they hadn't already been warned about NFS being borked. I wonder how many other LTS users are about to get a nasty surprise. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/848823 Title: nfs-kernel-server requires a real interface to be up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/848823/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
