Kernel config

Comment 2 Gal Goldschmidt 2009-04-16 20:54:55 UTC

I think I know were this come from:
In the kernel config:
CONFIG_SUNRPC_REGISTER_V4=y
 Does not work with net-nds/portmap-6.0

I don't know about nfs-utils but I bumped it to 1.1.15, to try to solve the issue, it did not.

I found in some forum instructions about using portmap or rpcbind.
I then installed net-nds/rpcbind-0.1.7 and it works like a charm.
I don't know if it will work with the stable nfs-utils ( currently 1.1.14).

To solve this issue, you can recompile with backward portmap support( unset the above config), or use the unstable rpcbind and maybe the unstable nfs-utils.
NFS is back to work here.

re-open if disabling CONFIG_SUNRPC_REGISTER_V4 doesnt fix things
