Title:
  rpcinfo is in /sbin, not /bin => NFS v3 is disabled

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

Bug description:
  The init script for nfs-kernel-server looks to see if NFS v3 is
  enabled by running rpcinfo.

  This is nice and all, but it will only work if the pathname to rpcinfo
  is correct.

  The original code said this:

                  $PREFIX/bin/rpcinfo -u localhost nfs 3 >/dev/null 2>&1 ||
                      RPCMOUNTDOPTS="$RPCMOUNTDOPTS --no-nfs-version 3"

  
  The correct code is this:

                  $PREFIX/sbin/rpcinfo -u localhost nfs 3 >/dev/null 2>&1 ||
                      RPCMOUNTDOPTS="$RPCMOUNTDOPTS --no-nfs-version 3"

  Either that or rpcinfo is misplaced.

  In any case, this keeps nfs v3 from working - because it ALWAYS turns
  on the --no-nfs-version-3 flag.

  Perhaps this should be checked for at the beginning of the script like
  some of the other commands?
