Occassionally (once every week or two) rpc.mountd crashes and the remote machines can not mount the exported partititon. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nfs-utils-1.0.7-12.FC4 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create /etc/exports to export partition 2.Mount it via autofs on other machines 3.Wait weeks until mountd crashes Actual Results: mountd is no longer running and partition cannot be mounted Expected Results: mountd should not crash Additional info: This can be fixed on the machine exporting the partition by issuing the command: service nfs restart Upon restart, you see: Shutting down NFS mountd [failed] Everything else says ok.
It appears that nfs-utils-1.0.7-19.FC5 fixes this problem.
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
Problem no longer exists on FC6 - bug can be closed.
