I have to say somethig that might related to this problem. Earleir I had problem with these files: /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow Hopefully I had backed up them to *.bak. The procedure to fix those file names was booting a live cd and then: cp /etc/passwd.bak /etc/passwd cp /etc/group.bak /etc/group cp /etc/shadow.bak /etc/shadow I said that becuase I found that statd has a user name which I didn't think about it. here they are: mahmood@server:~$ cat /etc/passwd | grep "statd" statd:x:108:65534::/var/lib/nfs:/bin/false mahmood@server:~$ cat /etc/group | grep "statd" mahmood@server:~$ sudo cat /etc/shadow | grep "statd" statd:*:14970:0:99999:7::: Are they normal? // 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?
