Hi. I'm wondering if there is any way to re-init lockd and kstatd after startup? Look, in svc.c static variable nsm_use_kstatd is set to 1. Then, if nsm_kernel_statd_init() returns error, nsm_use_kstatd is set to 0. And we end up without kstatd. Lockd will exit as soon as last NFS mount is unmounted and on next mount attempt lockd() in svc.c will be called again, but nsm_use_kstatd is 0 already and kstatd init will be skipped. So, looks like if /var/lib/nfs/state is missed on host startup, there is no way to recover and tell kernel init kstatd later on demand. Or?
