I tried to confirm the 'race-free fix' in nfs-utils 1:1.2.0-2ubuntu9
(which is not released for karmic) - see bug #484209.
start portmap || true
status portmap | grep -q start/running
I added one logger debug line, after the first line in /etc/init/statd.conf
(see below)
=============================================================================
# statd - NSM status monitor
start on (started portmap or mount TYPE=nfs)
stop on stopping portmap
expect fork
respawn
env DEFAULTFILE=/etc/default/nfs-common
pre-start script
if [ -f "$DEFAULTFILE" ]; then
. "$DEFAULTFILE"
fi
[ "x$NEED_STATD" != xno ] || { stop; exit 0; }
start portmap || true
status portmap | logger -p local0.debug -t NFS
status portmap | grep -q start/running
exec sm-notify
end script
script
if [ -f "$DEFAULTFILE" ]; then
. "$DEFAULTFILE"
fi
if [ "x$NEED_STATD" != xno ]; then
exec rpc.statd -L $STATDOPTS
fi
end script
=======================================================================
Then a restart of the system.
In /var/log/debug:
Jan 17 13:46:08 odin NFS: portmap start/running, process 836
--> no screen error message, but NO working NFS mount either.
Then I tried to get the system back to the original state, aka re-
install network-manager, and enable avahi-daemon in /etc/default/avahi-
daemon (AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL=1). These package/new install actions
requires 'restart'.
In var/log/debug:
Jan 17 13:58:14 odin NFS: portmap start/spawned, process 816
Jan 17 13:58:15 odin NFS: portmap start/running, process 845
--> Original set of error messages on screen, but WORKING NFS mount.
another restart system directly after above.
In var/log/debug:
Jan 17 14:02:13 odin NFS: portmap start/running, process 846
--> no screen error messages, but NO working NFS mount either.
Definitely we are close, but I can not prove that the fix solves my
problem. The behavior is consistent, the bug is in some way related to
occasions when a reboot is required. Directly following, the first
restart my system mounts OK, but not any following restarts. The error
messages are not consistent as reported before (bug #504224)
