Just cvsupped from 5.4-RELEASE to this afternoons stable. Did the usual trick of waiting a few minutes and ding it again to make sure I hadnt caught it mid-patch or something. Install everything, all works fine except for NFS. From 'showmount' I get "RPC: Port mapper failure" no matter what I do. Everything I;ve seen on the net says this is something to do with problems connecting to the remote host, but even if I do a simple 'showmount -e' to show exports from the local machine I get the same error. Both mountd and rpcbind are running. If I stop rpcbind and restart it in debugging mode I get no useful information. The same errors come from showmount whether its running or not. During boot when I try and mount the removte filesystems I get the following error: [udp] smaug:/words: RPCPROG_NFS: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive Help! I'm totally stuck, and google doesnt provide any answers. This worked ten minutes ago under 5.4-RELEASE. Should I just reevert, or is somsone interesting in getting some more reports out of this about the problem ? -pcf.
