Bug 47684 – Bootstrapping over NFS, pids file write: No locks available

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Hans-Christian Armingeon 2004-04-13 03:42:53 UTC]

I am bootstrapping on an nfs mounted share.
I did a mount --bind /dev /mnt/gentoo , and so on with /dev/pts and /proc from the host system.

The NFS share is exported via <share> <ip>(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,sync) in /etc/exports on the server.

I've some diskless boxes booting from that server without problems.

Has anybody got an idea, what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance,

You could mount /tmp from the local system.
Locks are supported if your kernel supports them for NFS.

yep, read up on nfs and locking support (which, like nick said, sucks for nfs)
