problem

NFS mount failing

Error message:

mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking. mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.

O.S. = gentoo linux

versions

server

net-fs/nfs-utils Installed versions: 1.3.1-r5

client

net-fs/nfs-utils Installed versions: 1.3.3

These are NFS version 4 compliant client/server packages

solution

start nfsclient on the client..

  1. /etc/init.d/nfsclient start

then the nfs mount worked correctly

discussion

when I first saw the error messages, I check the NFS server and saw rpc.statd was not running
