Everything i keep reading tells me that NFS4 does not need portmap but for some reason on the NFS server ( CentOS 5.x ) i cannot get the nfs services started unless portmap is running first. On the server i modified /etc/sysconfig/nfs with the following options MOUNTD_NFS_V1="no" MOUNTD_NFS_V2="no" RPCNFSDARGS="-N 2 -N 3 -U" For some reason if i uncomment MOUNTD_NFS_v3="no" i get errors. On the client, again a CentOS 5.x machine but with a newer custom built kernel, If i do not start portmap then when i run mount it takes about 2 minutes for the filesystem to mount and i see the following messages in /var/log/messages Oct 26 10:25:30 host kernel: rpcbind: server localhost not responding, timed out If i start portmap, the mount command completed in a few seconds. My goal here to is run/support NFSv4 Only. ~ShaunR -- 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
