Topic
Updated nfs-utils packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The nfs-utils packages provide a daemon for the kernel Network File System (NFS)
server, and related tools such as the mount.nfs, umount.nfs, and showmount.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, during an NFS service start, users encountered the following
rpc.idmapd message "dirscancb: open(/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs/clnt6a): No such
file or directory." This was because the daemon "rpc.idmapd" scanned the
/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs/ directory periodically looking for NFS client
mounts to communicate to. The daemon tried to open communication with a client
mount, but it disappeared in between looking for directory entries and opening
them. NFS mount was umounted just before rpc.idmapd tried to communicate with
it. This update requires Verbosity to be set to 1 or higher in order for the
problem warning message to display. With the default Verbosity of 0, it is no
longer logged, preventing it from clogging the logs with unhelpful messages.
(BZ#726472)
- During system shutdown, the "umount" utility was called as part of a shutdown
script, so the shutdown script failed to unmount the /var/ file system
correctly. This was because the shutdown script searched for the
/var/lock/subsys/nfs lock file, but could not find it because NFS service
created the /var/lock/subsys/nfsd lock file. This update fixes the issue in the
/etc/rc.d/rc script itself, so it tries to find nfsd and not the NFS lock file,
and the shutdown script now successfully unmounts the file system. (BZ#873307)
- Previously, when the NFS service was started, messages that the RPC idmapd
service was stopped and started were displayed. This occurred because in order
to start NFS, the RPC idmapd service had to be restarted using the condrestart
option (conditional restart), which starts RPC idmapd only if it is currently
running. With this update, RPC idmapd messages are no longer displayed in the
described scenario when the NFS service is started. (BZ#892236)
- Previously, the NFS version 3 of the MOUNT protocol was not fully supported.
Therefore, the "showmount" utility did not work properly, and there were
possible issues with the "umount" utility. Changes from the NFS version 2
protocol to the NFS version 3 protocol have required some adjustments to be made
in the MOUNT protocol. To meet the needs of the NFS version 3 protocol, a new
version of the MOUNT protocol has been defined. This new protocol satisfies the
requirements of the NFS version 3 protocol, and addresses several other current
market requirements. Thus, the "showmount" and "unmount" utilities now function
as expected. (BZ#947552)
Users of nfs-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs. After installing this update, the nfs service will be restarted
automatically.
