Mount hangs with sec=krb5 option.
Last modified: 2012-03-13 14:39:38 EDT
Description of problem: When using the -o sec=krb5 option, the mount command hangs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora release 14 (Laughlin) How reproducible: Easy, happens everytime. Steps to Reproduce: 1. kill rpc.gssd daemon (ps -aef | grep rpc.gssd, kill -2 the PID). 2. Try a mount with the given option: mount -o sec=krb5 nfsserver:/ /mnt/nfsserver/ Actual results: The command hangs for ever. Expected results: It should error out saying the rpc gss is not running. Additional info: See the /var/log/messages file which tells us to re-start rpc.gssd.
This sounds more like a mount or nfs change request rather than one for the libraries, so I'm moving this to nfs-utils, though it might end up in kernel space. Note, though, that F14 has been past its end-of-life for several weeks, so it's worth knowing if this is something that still happens on a release where this could be fixed: F15 or F16.
I have observed with fed14, fed13, RHEL 6.1.
(In reply to comment #2) > I have observed with fed14, fed13, RHEL 6.1. There was a check but it got removed in upstream because it was to distro specific... The same goes for the idmapper check. The checks consisted of checking for the existence of the /var/lock/subsys/<daemon> file. With the introduction of systemd, that file is no longer created when these daemons startup... While it was nice to have those checks I just to see a simple way to extract the status out of systemd without doing a fork/exec(), which I think is a bit overkill.
