when I try to mount nfs from my laptop, I get ... mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'gelk:/mnt/data' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered if I log into the server and service nfs restart, I see .. Shutting down NFS mountd: [FAILED] Shutting down NFS daemon: [FAILED] Shutting down NFS quotas: [ OK ] Shutting down NFS services: [ OK ] Starting NFS services: [ OK ] Starting NFS quotas: [ OK ] Starting NFS daemon: [ OK ] Starting NFS mountd: [ OK ] and then the mount works fine. Something isn't starting up correctly. I don't see anything interesting in the logs.
This is because Network Manager starts the network asynchronously which means there is a good possibly an newtwork interface is not configured when rpc.nfsd start. BZ 531425 has a more detailed explication... I wonder if this should be a blocker bug...
Definitely a regression since f11. It worked fine before I yum update'd the server.
