** Description changed: - Binary package hint: upstart + Binary package hint: nfs-utils I expected the exported NFS share (my server shire) to mount my home directory - I'm 'jamb' on this desktop machine. This mount fails with my client stanza in/etc/fstab: shire.gigahome.net:/home/jamb/nfs /home/jamb/nfs nfs rw,hard,intr,nfsvers=3 0 0 During the startup process, this is echoed to screen: init: statd pre-start process (846) terminated with status 1 mountall: Event failed mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking. Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd. mountall: mount /home/jamb/nfs [819] terminated with status 32 mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted: /home/jamb/nfs If I change the /etc/fstab and adds the 'nolock' option like so: shire.gigahome.net:/home/jamb/nfs /home/jamb/nfs nfs rw,hard,intr,nolock,nfsvers=3 0 0 The mount is successful. Assuming, again, without the 'nolock' option, some observations: the error code from statd is not always seen, but more often starting with the line from: mountall: Event failed and the other lines follows. Sometime the mount is successful. I have seen this a few times, just after the first reboot when I did a kernel upgrade, or by just doing a few re-starts. A cold boot seems to trigger the failure easier at next startup Note: It is possible to mount this in a shell, like so: sudo mount shire.gigahome.net:/home/jamb/nfs /home/jamb/nfs The original fstab mount stanza works as expected on Jaunty (9.04), Intrepid (8.10), Hardy (9.04), Gutsy (7.10) and Debian Lenny (5.03). On the Karmic client: 2.6.31-16-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 8 04:02:15 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux I use ext3 and the traditional Grub (not Grub 2). On the Gutsy server: 2.6.22-15-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 23:47:12 GMT 2008 i686 GNU/Linux I have the NFS server on the local LAN (Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10) and NFS 3. here is the NFS server /etc/exports: /home/jamb 192.168.0.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,sync)
