Why does the rpc.nfsd command fail to increase the number of nfsd threads on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, but work on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4?
Issue
- When running the
rpc.nfsd 32
command, the number of nfsd threads does not change, and there are errors in/var/log/messages
:
#rpc.nfsd 32
#tail -f /var/log/messages
nfsd: nfssvc: Setting version failed: errno 16 (Device or resource busy)
nfsd: nfssvc: unable to bind UDP socket: errno 98 (Address already in use)
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
- NFSv3
- NFSv4
