NFS troubles "Failed to lookup alias 'nfs': Function not implemented"

Hello,

I installed nfs-utils 1.2.8-8 and after a reboot I see that the module loading service from systemd just fails to launch

systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-modules-load.service; static)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2013-07-12 18:05:09 CEST; 3min 9s ago
     Docs: man:systemd-modules-load.service(8)
           man:modules-load.d(5)
  Process: 84 ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

[darquandier@home ~]$ sudo /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load
Failed to lookup alias 'nfs': Function not implemented

[darquandier@home ~]$ lsmod | grep nfs
[darquandier@home ~]$ modprobe nfs
[darquandier@home ~]$ lsmod | grep nfs
[darquandier@home ~]$

Any ideas why the NFS module doesn't seem to load ?

Re: NFS troubles "Failed to lookup alias 'nfs': Function not implemented"

You would need sudo or to be root to modprobe nfs, I think.

Assuming you are using the stock kernel from stable, what does grep nfs /usr/lib/modules/3.9.9-1-ARCH/modules.alias give?

Wow, I had missed that answer... ANd I still have the same problem, even after upgrading and rebooting.

Tried the modprobe as root and sudo.
Nor results...

[root@tv etc]# grep nfs /usr/lib/modules/3.12.3-1-ARCH/modules.alias
alias nfs4 nfs
alias fs-nfs4 nfs
alias fs-nfs nfs
alias nfs-layouttype4-1 nfs_layout_nfsv41_files

alias nfs-layouttype4-3 blocklayoutdriver
alias fs-nfsd nfsd

FYI you don't need to load the nfs module like that, it will be loaded automatically whenever it's needed.
