start nfs-server.service failed

iysheng

I want to start nfs server, and I have installed nfs-utils with info:

▸ sudo eopkg info nfs-utils
[sudo] password for yangyongsheng:

We already updated nfs-utils to 2.6.3 on unstable and I was unable to reproduce this issue. Please let me know if it's still an issue after the next sync.

iysheng

After I reinstall nfs-utils 2.6.3 manually. The error is the same, I use journalctl to see the error message as:

what's wrong with this?
tnx.

ReillyBrogan

iysheng how did you install it manually? Just downloaded the unstable package?

iysheng

I download nfs-utils fr
rom https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/nfs-utils/2.6.3/nfs-utils-2.6.3.tar.gz，then build and make install it manually.

iysheng

After I have modified /etc/netconfig file as below(it's empty before):

udp6       tpi_clts      v     inet6    udp     -       -
tcp6       tpi_cots_ord  v     inet6    tcp     -       -
udp        tpi_clts      v     inet     udp     -       -
tcp        tpi_cots_ord  v     inet     tcp     -       -
rawip      tpi_raw       -     inet      -      -       -
local tpi_cots_ord - loopback - - -
unix tpi_cots_ord - loopback - - -

It's work now. I wonder whether some package will include this config file or must the user modify this file manually ?

ReillyBrogan

That's not supported, now that the sync has happened you should remove it and reinstall the Solus version.

Ok, tks, after I reinstall nfs-utils with eopkg , the nfs server is still ok now.
