Description

Works for me. What's the content of your /etc/fstab? Is /sbin/mount.nfs installed with SUID bit set (as it should by default)? ls -l /sbin/mount.nfs ~ >la /sbin/mount.nfs -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 88656 Nov 22 12:10 /sbin/mount.nfs This is ok. My /etc/fstab (nfs mount points only) insp9400:/media/extdisk /media/extdisk nfs noauto,user,exec,async dataserv:/srv/nfs /mnt/server nfs noauto,user,exec,async Note there are only "noauto" nfs entries. Thus /etc/init.d/nfs says "Not starting NFS client services - no NFS found in /etc/fstab: unused" Of course, after root has mounted a nfs point, a regular user can follow without problems. I have modified /etc/init.d/nfs (see patch). Created attachment 258699 [details]
Patch for /etc/init.d/nfs
Since mount.nfs is SUID it starts rpc.statd even for a regular user. If this does not work, the reason must be somewhere else. A possible cause might be that rpcbind is not running for some reason. What is the output of chkconfig rpcbind rpcbind is running: vmw-sl-111-cl2:~ # chkconfig rpcbind rpcbind on vmw-sl-111-cl2:~ # ps aux | grep rpc root 2578 0.0 0.1 2316 780 ? Ss 19:34 0:00 /sbin/rpcbind root 4585 0.0 0.1 2200 600 tty1 S+ 19:39 0:00 grep rpc But what I have found: /var/log/messages (when trying a nfs mount as regular user) Dec 8 19:36:30 vmw-sl-111-cl2 rpc.statd[3771]: Version 1.1.3 Starting Dec 8 19:36:30 vmw-sl-111-cl2 rpc.statd[3771]: Flags: Dec 8 19:36:30 vmw-sl-111-cl2 rpc.statd[3771]: Opening /var/run/rpc.statd.pid failed: Permission denied <<<<<<<<<<<<<< ? /var/log/messages (nfs mount as root) Dec 8 19:40:05 vmw-sl-111-cl2 rpc.statd[4595]: Version 1.1.3 Starting Dec 8 19:40:05 vmw-sl-111-cl2 rpc.statd[4595]: Flags: Dec 8 19:40:06 vmw-sl-111-cl2 rpc.statd[4595]: statd running as root. chown /var/lib/nfs/sm to choose different user Dec 8 19:40:06 vmw-sl-111-cl2 kernel: RPC: Registered udp transport module.

This was fixed just too late for -rc1. It will be fixed in the next -rc. Thanks for the report *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 447812 *** |
