I just worked through this problem. For nfs client to work in RedHat 7.1 the portmap and nfs-utils packages (rpc.statd, lockd daemons) are needed. I found 2 ways to cope with this: 1. Make the mount read-only. This prevents the need for lockd. ex. mount -t nfs -o ro,nolock,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 ... 2. Install nfs-utils and portmap in the %packages section. I use #1 if the only reason I want the server to use nfs is for the install. I use #2 if the server will be an nfs client once it's setup and in use. You probably also want to then secure your portmap and nfs daemons using a firewall or hosts.allow/deby files. I think the reason for this change is actually the newer linux kernel nfs implementation. I've run into the same problem after upgrading the kernel on a Red Hat 6.2 server. -- Marlys A.
