rpcbind init hang after upgrade
Last modified: 2008-05-16 18:59:27 EDT
Description of problem: rpcbind hang after upgrade Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpcbind-0.1.4-6.fc7 How reproducible: After upgrade from FC6->F7, rpcbind hangs on boot. Has happened to me on both x86_64 and i386 box upgrades. No messages in syslog. network itself comes up fine. If I skip rpcbind and all nis/nfs stuff during init box is fine, and other network stuff is fine. Tried to diff various things in /etc between fresh and upgrade (network-scripts, etc) nothing stuck out. Checked all rc.d stuff for init-order changes too. rpcinfo -d or an strace of starting it manually, turns up nothing suspicious; it just stops. If I force the last portmap rpm from FC6 and the /usr/sbin/rpcinfo binary from F7, things sort of work enough for me to get the box running.
No thanks to anyone looking at this bug or bothering to answer my email on fedora-list, but I finally figured out the problem after having a hung upgrade on several machines. When the switch from portmap->rpcbind happened upgrades were not tested that much I guess. Anyway /etc/services need an rpcbind alias. Once that is in there everything works fine. Probably need a %post scriplet somewhere. Anyway, from a diff of fresh install vs. upgrade: --- /etc/services 2007-06-13 21:47:01.000000000 -0700 +++ /hosts/hercules/etc/services 2006-05-24 13:12:48.000000000 -0700 @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ # /etc/services: -# $Id: services,v 1.43 2007/04/18 08:40:12 pknirsch Exp $ +# $Id: services,v 1.42 2006/02/23 13:09:23 pknirsch Exp $ # # Network services, Internet style # @@ -108,8 +108,8 @@ pop2 109/udp pop-2 pop3 110/tcp pop-3 # POP version 3 pop3 110/udp pop-3 -sunrpc 111/tcp portmapper rpcbind # RPC 4.0 portmapper TCP -sunrpc 111/udp portmapper rpcbind # RPC 4.0 portmapper UDP +sunrpc 111/tcp portmapper # RPC 4.0 portmapper TCP +sunrpc 111/udp portmapper # RPC 4.0 portmapper UDP auth 113/tcp authentication tap ident auth 113/udp authentication tap ident sftp 115/tcp
BTW I did have a modified-from-stock /etc/services (addition entries from other software), but I didn't get an services.rpmnew or services.rpmsave after the upgrade, which would clue one into checking for diffs.
First of all... my apologize for not being on this sooner. But yes is this is a know bug and I made the changes to /etc/services but didn't realize would cause such havoc... But the answer is to add rpcbind to the portmapper line in /etc/services file..
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
