Bug 175287 – net-fs/nfs-utils-1.0.12 - after boot, rpc.statd fails to register configured ports

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 60362
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description cilly 2007-04-19 23:20:26 UTC]

RPCSTATDOPTS="-p 32765 -o 32766" set in /etc/conf.d/nfs

After a fresh boot, rpc.statd does not use the above configured port.

I checked /etc/init.d/nfs and found: 

start_statd() {
        # Don't start rpc.statd if already started by init.d/nfsmount
        killall -0 rpc.statd &>/dev/null && return 0
        ebegin "Starting NFS statd"
        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec \
                $statd -- $RPCSTATDOPTS 1>&2
        eend $? "Error starting NFS statd"
}

It seems the line:

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

is preventing rpc.statd to start with $RPCSTATDOPTS.

Update:

It may be a conflict with nfsmount:

/etc/init.d/nfsmount status
 * Caching service dependencies ...    [ ok ]
 * status:  started

So probably adding

before nfsmount

to the /etc/init.d/nfs would help:

depend() {
        use ypbind net
        need portmap
        before nfsmount 
        after quota
}

Another solution would be to add the options provided in /etc/conf.d/nfs to nfsmount.

SpanKY, I don't see this bug as a duplicate. Do you really think it is a dup of a bug filed in the year 2004 which is closed already? Is this fixed in newer versions?
