I came to report the bug, saw that the fix had shipped, and can confirm that it works. Thanks to Marc (and anyone in the background) for the quick response!
Getting the NFS server running properly again requires either a reboot or a certain amount of tinkering; when rpcbind stops and restarts, it forgets all its rpc-program-to-IP-port mappings (they are stored only in memory). To get everything working again without rebooting, do systemctl stop nfs-server systemctl start nfs-server systemctl restart rpc-statd systemctl restart quotarpc quotarpc matters only if you use disk quotas. If you don't make sure statd is running and registered with rpcbind, both on the server and on all clients, NFS locking may not work (and processes trying to make locks may hang); this is most noticeable on a mail server. restart nfs- server should work, but when I tried it it waited forever and when interrupted left NFS down; stop/start was quick and effective. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1931507 Title: rpcbind failing on 0.2.3-0.6ubuntu0.18.04.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rpcbind/+bug/1931507/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
