As I said, I have only nfs-kernel-server mahmood@server:~$ ls /etc/init.d/nfs* /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server One more question? Can I install statd? mahmood@server:~$ sudo apt-get install stat stat statcvs statd statgrab statnews statserial statsvn So you recommend that? // Naderan *Mahmood; ----- Original Message ----- From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> To: Mahmood Naderan <nt_mahmood@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Dennis Jacobfeuerborn <dennisml@xxxxxxxxxxxx>; nfs <linux-nfs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, May 2, 2011 3:12 PM Subject: Re: rpc.statd is not running but is required On Mon, 2 May 2011 03:03:28 -0700 (PDT) Mahmood Naderan <nt_mahmood@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I heve this service > > mahmood@server:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart > * Stopping NFS kernel daemon [ OK ] > * Unexporting directories for NFS kernel daemon...

Yes, it seems Debian doesn't supply start-statd. I wonder why. They rely on /etc/init.d/nfs-common start to start statd. That should work unless NEED_STATD is set to 'no' in /etc/default/nfs-common. What is in /etc/default/nfs-common?? If you /etc/init.d/nfs-common restart does that start statd?
