Description of problem: NFS does not start when the system is booted NFS fails to start when the system is booted, although it can be manually started after booting. It only does not start when the system is booting. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@moose log]# uname -a Linux moose 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 #1 SMP Tue Jun 12 15:37:31 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@moose log]# rpm -q nfs-utils nfs-utils-1.0.12-4.fc7 [root@moose log]# rpm -q initscripts initscripts-8.54.1-1 [root@moose log]# rpm -q rpcbind rpcbind-0.1.4-6.fc7 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Shutdown and reboot system 4. Boot messages show rpcbind starts, although with some awkwardness: Jul 15 18:19:06 moose rpcbind: cannot bind * on udp: Address already in use Jul 15 18:19:06 moose rpcbind: cannot bind tcp: Address already in use 5. Boot messages show NFS trying to start, failing to contact rpcbind, and giving up: Jul 15 18:19:13 moose kernel: Installing knfsd (copyright (C) 1996 okir.de).

After booting up and logging in as root, rpcbind is running, NFS is not, but can now be started from the shell: [root@moose log]# service rpcbind status rpcbind (pid 1605) is running... [root@moose log]# service nfs status rpc.mountd is stopped nfsd is stopped rpc.rquotad is stopped [root@moose log]# service nfs start Starting NFS services: [ OK ] Starting NFS quotas: [ OK ] Starting NFS daemon: [ OK ] Starting NFS mountd: [ OK ] [root@moose log]# Actual results: NFS did not start during the boot process, but could be started later, manually. Expected results: If NFS was properly configured it would start both during init and could also be started manually. If NFS was improperly configured it would start neither during init nor later manually. Additional info: 1. A workaround is to place these lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.local sleep 60 service nfs start (I don't know if the "sleep 60" is really needed.) 2.

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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
