Ahh I think I see the bug, nfsd_svc does this: first_thread = (nfsd_serv->sv_nrthreads == 0) && (nrservs != 0); ...and only later does this: error = nfsd_create_serv(); if (error) goto out_shutdown; Because you're using the older nfsctl interface rather than /proc/fs/nfsd, nfsd_svc is called before write_versions and nfsd_serv is NULL. Does the following patch fix it? diff --git a/fs/nfsd/nfssvc.c b/fs/nfsd/nfssvc.c index 92173bd..79cfd7a 100644 --- a/fs/nfsd/nfssvc.c +++ b/fs/nfsd/nfssvc.c @@ -432,7 +432,9 @@ nfsd_svc(unsigned short port, int nrservs) if (nrservs == 0 && nfsd_serv == NULL) goto out; - first_thread = (nfsd_serv->sv_nrthreads == 0) && (nrservs != 0); + first_thread = ((nfsd_serv == NULL) || + (nfsd_serv->sv_nrthreads == 0)) && + (nrservs != 0); if (first_thread) { error = nfsd_startup(port, nrservs); -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> -- 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
