I thought it was happening randomly however it does actually appear to happen after rebooting the server. I do notice some errors on boot relating to exportfs but I can't find them in any logs (or get a chance to actually read what they say).
options on client in fstab are 'nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr' manually trying to mount from client results in this error "mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting" options in /etc/exports are '(rw,no_subtree_check)' restarting nfs-kernel-server after I have booted up results in this error "exportfs: scandir /etc/exports.d: No such file or directory" however everything does work fine afterwards -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/848823 Title: mounting of nfs shares fails and must restart nfs-kernel-server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/848823/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
