Package: portmap
Version: 6.0.0-2
Severity: normal
Portmapper stopped working on my Testing system a while ago.
Can't really tell when, but NFS worked ok for a long time
and then one day about a month ago I noticed that it just
didn't work. Didn't really debug the problem until now...
As for symptoms, stopping portmapper hangs forever (even when
shutting down the system):
x301:~# /etc/init.d/portmap stop
Stopping portmap daemon...
rpcinfo hangs too:
x301:~# ps -fu daemon | grep portmap
daemon 23200 1 0 12:49 ? 00:00:00 portmap -v
x301:~# rpcinfo -p
NFS mounts hang forever:
x301:~# mount nas:/install /mnt
Even trying to manually debug portmapper does absolutely nothing:
x301:~# ps -fu daemon | grep portmap
daemon 23200 1 0 12:49 ? 00:00:00 portmap -v
x301:~# kill -9 23200
x301:~# rm /var/run/portmap*
x301:~# portmap -d
The foreground portmap hangs forever and won't even close if
I ctrl-c it... Killing does work. Shouldn't "portmap -v" give
me a version number and then exit? That does absolutely nothing
on my system....
Granted, I'm on a frankendebian system with packages from Testing,
Unstable, Experimental and Ubuntu... But apart from the 2.6.36
kernel form Experimental anything related to portmapper are
from Testing. And I'm 99% sure portmapper didn't work with the
standard Testing kernel either (because I only upgraded the
kernel about a week ago).
[after a quick reboot]
Yup, portmap is just as stuck with the default Testing kernel
2.6.32-5-amd64.
