Here is the story: I needed to do some server maintenance so I issued $init 1.
After the maintenance was done I issued $init 5. Everything was fine except no nfs-server-kernel running. No problem. Issue $sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart System response: Stopping NFS kernel daemon: mountd nfsd. Unexporting directories for NFS kernel daemon.... Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon.... Starting NFS kernel daemon: nfsd Not starting: portmapper is not running ... (warning). Problem to be investigated LATER. Issue $ /etc/init.d/rpcbind restart System response: Stopping RPC port mapper daemon: rpcbind. Starting RPC port mapper daemon: rpcbind. No problem. Try nfs server again. $sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart System response: Stopping NFS kernel daemon: mountd nfsd. Unexporting directories for NFS kernel daemon.... Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon.... Starting NFS kernel daemon: nfsd mountd. no problem. So, Now it is LATER. So obviously when I went to runlevel 1, rpcbind was stopped and didn't come back up when I went back to runlevel 5. Investigate: /etc$ sudo find . -name *nfs-kernel-server ./rc2.d/S04nfs-kernel-server ./rc0.d/K01nfs-kernel-server ./rc1.d/K01nfs-kernel-server ./default/nfs-kernel-server ./init.d/nfs-kernel-server ./rc3.d/S04nfs-kernel-server ./rc4.d/S04nfs-kernel-server ./rc6.d/K01nfs-kernel-server ./rc5.d/S04nfs-kernel-server Observation: nfs-kernel-server gets killed at 0,1,6 and gets started at runlevels 2-5 /etc$ sudo find . -name *rpcbind ./rc0.d/K06rpcbind ./rc1.d/K06rpcbind ./rcS.d/S17rpcbind ./default/rpcbind ./init.d/rpcbind ./rc6.d/K06rpcbind ./insserv.conf.d/rpcbind Observation: The only time rpcbind is brought up is at system start. RUNLEVEL 1 kills it. Conclusion: So either rpcbind shouldn't be killed at runlevel 1 or it should be started prior to nfs-kernel-server on runlevels 2-5. OR ..... I have no clue about something here.
