Hi. I'm using Debian sid and I upgraded the system today (the last complete upgrade was about one month ago). I get the "failed to contact portmap" errors.
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 I am stuck. I used the proposed workaround (fsid=0) and it didn't work. I tried downgrading nfs-kernel-server to 1:1.1.0-13, and I get the same error. This is what I get in the client side: Sending DHCP requests .., OK IP-Config: Got DHCP answer from 0.0.0.0, my address is 192.168.1.101 IP-Config: Unable to set interface netmask (-22).

I was using this setup before the upgrade. Regards, Nelson.- -- http://arhuaco.org http://emQbit.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
