Hello, after upgrade from CentOS 5 to 5.1 I see the following error in /var/log/messages: 'rpc.idmapd[2330]: main: open(/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs): No such file or directory' The directory exists with the permissions dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 7 10:21 nfs So is this an owner/permisson problem? Should /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs be owned by rpcuser? # ls -al /var/lib/nfs/ total 24 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Dec 7 10:21 . drwxr-xr-x 29 root root 4096 Dec 3 07:25 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 701 Dec 7 10:21 etab -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 685 Dec 3 07:24 rmtab drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 0 Dec 7 10:21 rpc_pipefs drwx------ 4 rpcuser rpcuser 4096 Nov 12 07:37 statd -rw------- 1 root root 0 Nov 12 07:37 state drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 7 11:24 v4recovery -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 12 07:37 xtab My settings for /etc/sysconfig/nfs: SECURE_NFS="no" SECURE_NFS_MODS="noload" RPCMTAB="noload" RPCNFSDCOUNT=32 RPCNFSDPRIORITY=16 RPCMOUNTDOPTS="--nfs-version 4" RPCNFSDARGS="--port 2049 --no-nfs-version 3 --no-nfs-version 2" #RPCGSSDARGS="-vvv" #RPCSVCGSSDARGS="-vvv" MOUNTD_NFS_V2="no" MOUNTD_NFS_V3="no" regards Olaf _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
