Description Jeff Moyer 2008-12-04 14:20:41 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #431891 +++

Description of problem:

/etc/init.d/nfs start fails (exit with a non-zero exit code) if nfs is already
running.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a export entry in /etc/exports
2. Run /etc/init.d/nfs start
3. Run /etc/init.d/nfs start again
  
Actual results:
Starting NFS services:  [  OK  ]
Starting NFS quotas: [  OK  ]
Starting NFS daemon: [FAILED]

Exitcode 1


Expected results:

Exitcode 0

Additional info:

The LSB specification
(http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_3.2.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html)
states that start on an already started service should be considdered success,
and return exit code 0.

It appears this has already been fixed in Fedora. The initscript in
nfs-utils-1.1.0-6.fc8 adheres to LSB.

fixed in nfs-utils-1.0.9-34

Comment 1 Jeff Moyer 2008-12-04 14:21:46 UTC

In our case, a regression test does a 'service nfs stop' to ensure that no nfs daemon is running.  If no daemon was running, the init script returns failure.

Comment 6 Steve Dickson 2009-03-06 13:27:27 UTC

Fixed in nfs-utils-1.0.6-90.EL4
