I am testing on a VM, and the race is kinda hard to trigger. Mounting of /var needs to be delayed somehow, for example, by an fsck. In my case, bug #579858 trigger an fsck on reboot, which make the race happen somewhat reliably.
After updating the nfs-common and portmap packages to the one in lucid- proposed, statd start reliably. So, for my synthetic test-case, it works perfectly. I am not going to set the bug verification-done just yet, as I think it would be best if it was confirmed by someone with a real-world test-case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525154 Title: mountall for /var races with rpc.statd -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
