Howdy folks! I've been investigating an issue we're having over here and I can't seem to find anything on the web about it, so I'm asking you fine folks :)
A couple of days ago one of our servers was having some strange nfs locking issues, and I noticed portmap wasn't running (and therefore, neither was lockd) I rebooted the server (since starting portmap and nfs-common didn't seem to register lockd according to rpcinfo -p) and it was fine for a while. Then I noticed portmap again wasn't running, so I rebooted it again and this time attached an strace to figure out what was crashing it. The last few lines from the strace are in the attached file (I didn't want line-wrapping to cause havok!) Anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I saw a bug about portmap getting a SIGPIPE[1] and was hoping that was what was happening, but unfortunately, that wasn't it. I'm completely at a loss here... has anyone seen this issue before, or know what might be causing it? Some info about our setup: debian 3.1 portmap 5-9 custom 2.6 kernel with grsec NFS servers are netapp and coraid filers. Other machines mounting these filers are fine, although we do have other machines on *other* filers that are having nfs issues, but I haven't pinpointed the problems on those machines to this issue (they're next on my list, however!) If anyone has any ideas, or if there's more information you need from me that might help, please let me know. Thanks, and have a great day :) -Jeremy Links: [1]: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=342709
