Dear all, let me begin a thread tracking issues with NFS, a package collection in need for better examination, as we were told a few days ago.
A fresh install including "File server" immediate uncovered these: * "mountd" fails to start since "/etc/exports" is empty. The package should really install a file even if it only contains comments. Touch said file, and rebooting, will let "mountd" be started as is expected. * "rpcbind" produces an error, because "/var/run/rpcbind/rpcbind.xdr" is not present. I am inconclusive as to the cause would be that "/run/rpcbind/" is never created in that tmpfs, or whether there ought to be some template "rpcbind.xdr" inserted in place by the init script. This could be related to the fact that at booting time the following sequence appear: Starting ZFS subsystem Activating swap mount: /lib/init/rw: unknown special file or file system mount: /tmp: unknown special file or file system Filesystem type 'zfs' is not supported. Skipping mount dito 'devfs' dito 'linprocfs' dito 'sysfs' dito 'fdescfs' dito 'linprocfs' [second time!] Activating lvm and md swap. Then file systems get inserted as usual. * Each of "nfsd" and "rpc.statd" uses more that twenty seconds to stop at reboot or halt.
