Package: nfs-kernel-server
Version: 1:1.1.1~git-20070709-3
Severity: normal

Hi.

I get this message whenever I restart nfs-kernel-server (dmesg).

 nfsd: unexporting all filesystems
 RPC: failed to contact portmap (errno -5).
 NFSD: Using /var/lib/nfs/v4recovery as the NFSv4 state recovery
 directory
 NFSD: starting 90-second grace period

This message was printed once in dmesg:

  lockd_up: makesock failed, error=-5

I don't have iptables rules in this host.

I don't know if this is actually a bug, but this message
had me looking for it for a while and confused me :)
I couldn't mount NFS shares from other hosts because
portmap was bound to the loopback interface.

Regards,
Nelson.-

It isn't.

The portmap man page is very clear about that.
