I understand that without this filesystem, nfsutils does not use the "new cache" mechanism. However, a nfsd restart operation should still be functional. However, when I try doing this manually, I get the following error: > > root:my_node:/etc/rc.d/init.d# /sbin/service nfs restart > Shutting down NFS mountd: [ OK ] > Shutting down NFS daemon: [FAILED] > Shutting down NFS services: [ OK ] > Starting NFS services: [ OK ] > Starting NFS daemon: [FAILED] > Starting NFS mountd: [ OK ] This seems to work with both a 2.6.18 kernel (using nfs-utils-1.0.9) and a 2.6.25 kernel (using nfs-utils-1.1.2-1). What version of nfs-utils are you using? > I am using kernel version 2.6.17.7. This is a pretty old kernel... any chance of upgrading it? steved. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
