Applying this diff lets me stop/restart nfs

I'm a complete newbie at linux scripts, so this may well not be the correct
fix. IT works for me though.
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-03-14 21:25:09 UTC
that doesnt make any sense ... the hunk you posted is only run when start() is called, not stop()
Comment 3 Magnus Lidbom 2005-03-15 00:10:59 UTC
It does make sense. The line:

killall -0 rpc.statd &>/dev/null && return 0

always returns at the very beginning of the start_statd function, so the rest of the function:

ebegin "Starting NFS statd" 
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec \ $statd -- $RPCSTATDOPTS 1>&2

is never executed and NFS statd is never started, so stopping it will always fail.

Removing the "&& return 0" part of the line lets the rest of the function execute so that statd is started and stopping it works.
Comment 4 Paul Taylor 2006-06-10 16:38:37 UTC
Here's the output I get:

# /etc/init.d/nfs restart
 * Stopping NFS mountd ...                                             [ ok ]
 * Stopping NFS daemon ...                                             [ ok ]
 * Stopping NFS statd ...                                              [ ok ]

/sbin/start-stop-daemon: stat /sbin/rpc.statd: No such file or directory (No
such file or directory)
 * Error starting NFS statd                                            [ !! ]
 * Exporting NFS directories ...                                       [ ok ]
 * Starting NFS daemon ...                                             [ ok ]
 * Starting NFS mountd ...                                             [ ok ]

The cause is an incorrect path to rpc.statd in /etc/init.d/nfs (line 266); change this to "/usr/sbin/rpc.statd", and the script works correctly.
Comment 5 Paul Taylor 2006-06-10 16:41:39 UTC
Correction:  That should be line 29 of /etc/init.d/nfs

Addendum:  The same change needs to be made to /etc/init.d/nfsmount (lines 15 and 26.)
Comment 6 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-06-10 16:59:35 UTC
unrelated issue

you dont get the point of the test

removing the return just ignores the issue
Comment 8 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-06-10 17:24:55 UTC
`killall -0` is a test to see if rpc.statd is running

if killall -0 returns true, that means rpc.statd is already running thus there is no need to have the init.d script start it
