[SOLVED] wheezy nfs upgrade

radiodee1 · 04-07-2011, 07:39 AM

I safe-upgrade'd a wheezy machine today. Now my nfs doesn't work. Anyone know why?

Here's some of 'cat /var/log/aptitude'

Code:

[UPGRADE] nfs-common 1:1.2.2-5 -> 1:1.2.3-1
[UPGRADE] nfs-kernel-server 1:1.2.2-5 -> 1:1.2.3-1

Here's some output from init.d

Code:

# /etc/init.d/nfs-common restart
Stopping NFS common utilities: idmapd statd.
Starting NFS common utilities: statd failed!
# /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart
Stopping NFS kernel daemon: mountd nfsd.
Unexporting directories for NFS kernel daemon....
Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon....
Starting NFS kernel daemon: nfsd mountd failed!
#

everything worked yesterday.

Bit of feedback, but not much.
I had the same error-message on 2 Sid-installations, and could solve them by installing nfs-common from testing (aka Wheezy).
I can't find anything about that problem at the bug-reports:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=551821
but as i don't use nfs my interest is small to search.

Noticed the same problem a few days ago, I don't use nfs either so didn't bother looking into it...

is this the right bug? I'm going to try rpcbind .

radiodee1 · 04-07-2011, 08:58 AM

after installing rpcbind I get this:
(I think I don't know enough about rpcbind to get it to work)

Code:

# /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart
Stopping NFS kernel daemon: mountd nfsd.
Unexporting directories for NFS kernel daemon....
Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon....
Starting NFS kernel daemon: nfsdrpc.nfsd: Setting version failed: errno 16 (Device or resource busy)
rpc.nfsd: writing fd to kernel failed: errno 13 (Permission denied)
rpc.nfsd: writing fd to kernel failed: errno 13 (Permission denied)
rpc.nfsd: unable to set any sockets for nfsd
 failed!

here's another bug report that might be relevant.

I set ntf-common on hold for two Sid installations.
Now i got the problem on my testing laptop too. Uff.
You found a fast solution in the meantime?

nope. I was wondering about using samba, as my needs are minimal and I only use nfs to back things up (from a laptop). Can you specify for samba the same directory as you serve up with nfs, or do you have to dismantle nfs for samba to serve the same directory? Just wondering.

It looks like it's been patched and is now in Sid.

Code:

nfs-common:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1:1.2.3-2
  Version table:
     1:1.2.3-2 0
        500 http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main i386 Packages

nfs-kernel-server:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1:1.2.3-2
  Version table:
     1:1.2.3-2 0
        500 http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main i386 Packages

Code:

# aptitude  -t unstable install nfs-common nfs-kernel-server

this just seems to switch from portmap to rpcbind. here's part of the upgrade. nfs won't start.

Code:

...
Setting up nfs-common (1:1.2.3-2) ...
Stopping NFS common utilities: idmapd statd.
Starting NFS common utilities: statd idmapd.
Setting up nfs-kernel-server (1:1.2.3-2) ...
Stopping NFS kernel daemon: mountd nfsd.
Unexporting directories for NFS kernel daemon....
Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon....
Starting NFS kernel daemon: nfsdrpc.nfsd: writing fd to kernel failed: errno 13 (Permission denied)
rpc.nfsd: unable to set any sockets for nfsd
 failed!

this doesn't seem to do it for me. maybe I'm doing something wrong? can someone tell me if 1.2.3-2 works for them?

It did work for me, on Testing, i unhold nfs-common and installed it from Sid, and the error is gone.
Now i will try the same on Sid. Strange.
(Btw: i don't use nfs, so for me it is rather an annoynace, and i ain't got nfs-kernel-server installed).

See here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=562737

Whatever i run across i will post.
good luck.

This ultimately works for me (finally). I had to edit my '/etc/hosts.deny' file, taking out a rule that read 'ALL: ALL'. I have a rule in '/etc/hosts.allow' that allows the share that I'm most interested in. The rule in 'hosts.deny' worked fine before though, but like I say, I may not know enough about these things to get it to work now. If I were on a big network I suspect this would not be good for security, but I'm not, I'm just trying to backup my laptop.
