[Bug 933575] Re: NFS not being mounted at boot time - rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking

[mastro]

Hi Steve,

the server is now being used with a very dirty workaround I've written:

crontab -e


@reboot /usr/bin/my-mount-script.sh


the script is really stupid, it just keep trying mount -a every 5 seconds until it found a file .checked that is present in the root directory of the NFS sharing.

and the first time it try it always get the statd error.

This is to say that I can't test on that server anymore.
If you can wait I'll be able to do tests after 22/02/2012 when this server will be taken off-line.

but I doubt that second try is performed by the bootup.. it's more like
it's the log from my cron script trying.

I don't know the bootup process in details and what does print that
message, but the common meaning of "Name or service not known" is DNS
failure, which doesn't make sense on an IP address.

anyway I'm not alone:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1699331

do you know of anyway of making the networks logs be more verbose without upgrading the server?
I'm fine modifying the bootup scripts if you give me precise instructions

thanks

Title:
  NFS not being mounted at boot time - rpc.statd is not running but is
  required for remote locking

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

Bug description:
  Version: Ubuntu SERVER 11.04

  installed nfs-commons

  added this to /etc/fstab:

  192.168.88.252:/repo  /mnt/repos   nfs     rw,hard,intr  0     0

  but I also tried
  192.168.88.252:/repo  /mnt/repos   nfs      _netdev,rw,hard,intr
  192.168.88.252:/repo  /mnt/repos   nfs      defaults,_netdev,rw,hard,intr

  
  with
  mnt /mnt/repos

  it works.

  reboot.

  I don't get the NFS up at boot time.

  I access to the server with SSH, eth0 and network is fine
  no NetworkManager
  no gui

  mount -a

  it works...

  so to debug the issue I added this to /etc/rc.local (before exit 0)

   mount /mnt/repos > /tmp/mounting.$$ 2>&1

  rebooted and I got this in that file:

  
  mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
  mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
  mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified


  I can't get NFS being mounted at boot time.
