I've got a home-brew linux 2.6.39 kernel and I'm having some problems restarting nfsd. If I stop it and wait > 10 seconds and then start it, it seems to behave, but if I stop/start in rapid succession, it will not start correctly and I see the following errors in dmesg: [ 182.130908] NFSD: Using /var/lib/nfs/v4recovery as the NFSv4 state recovery directory [ 182.130971] NFSD: starting 90-second grace period [ 441.501954] nfsd: last server has exited, flushing export cache [ 444.595519] svc: failed to register nfsdv2 RPC service (errno 111).
