[Bug 848823] Re: mounting of nfs shares fails and must restart nfs-kernel-server

[Steve Langasek]

Well, I asked for the output of 'showmount $server' and what
/etc/exports shows (not just the options) because I suspected you are
having a name resolution problem at startup.  Your responses so far
appear to confirm this possibility.  How is the network configured on
this server - via NetworkManager, or via ifupdown
(/etc/network/interfaces)?  How does this server do DNS resolution: does
it have a local DNS server, or is it pointed at another server somewhere
on the network?

Title:
  mounting of nfs shares fails and must restart nfs-kernel-server

Status in “nfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  For the last few weeks whenever I try to mount a nfs share from
  another machine, I get an access denied message from the server.

  once I restart via 'service nfs-kernel-server restart', then it starts
  working again. This is required atleast once per day.

  nfs server is running on fully updated 11.10 onieric
  clients are on 11.04 and 10.04

  I never experienced such issues prior to 11.10
