Package: nfs-common Version: 1:1.2.1-1 Severity: normal Hum. Isn't this issue a question of portmap/statd interoperability?
It was duly noted here that the issue is that statd now tries to connect to portmap through IPv6 instead of behaving normally. That seems to be the core issue for me here and switching to rpcbind is just a crude workaround. I see 2 issues on the statd side: 1. it connects to ::1 regardless of the -n setting 2. it connects to ::1 without resorting to 127.0.0.1 Furthermore, it seems here that just disabling statd in the startup script is *not* a sufficient workaround. One also needs to disable locking on the filesystem, using -o nolock. So I'll summarize the options here: Fix A: switch to rpcbind, which involves: 1. [nfs-common pkg] needs rpcbind-ONLY dependency: we have to remove portmap dependency. (#562757) 2. [rpcbind pkg] rpcbind lacks an init script (#563053) Fix B: fix statd to talk properly to portmap, which involves: 1. respecting the -n setting or; 2. also try 127.0.0.1 instead of just trying IPv6 There are similarly bound workarounds: Workaround A: make rpcbind work manually (I am not sure how to do that) Workaround B: disable rpc.statd: 1. NEEDS_STATD=no in /etc/default/nfs-common 2. use -o lock on NFSv3 mounts -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages nfs-common depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii initscripts 2.87dsf-8 scripts for initializing and shutt ii libc6 2.10.2-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcomerr2 1.41.9-1 common error description library ii libevent-1.4-2 1.4.13-stable-1 An asynchronous event notification ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.7+dfsg-4 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - k ii libgssglue1 0.1-4 mechanism-switch gssapi library ii libk5crypto3 1.7+dfsg-4 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - C ii libkrb5-3 1.7+dfsg-4 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libnfsidmap2 0.23-2 An nfs idmapping library ii libtirpc1 0.2.0-2 transport-independent RPC library ii libwrap0 7.6.q-18 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii netbase 4.40 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii portmap 6.0.0-1 RPC port mapper ii rpcbind 0.2.0-2 converts RPC program numbers into ii ucf 3.0025 Update Configuration File: preserv nfs-common recommends no packages. nfs-common suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
