NFS module won't be loaded through rc.conf

duberg · 2012-02-09 02:13:51

I am still having the exact problem that unull described in the first post of this thread. Same thing on four different boxes.

I've tried every workaround mentioned in this thread and also a bunch mentioned in the udev 30 second delay thread.

Anybody solve this yet? I am surprised that more people aren't talking about it. Makes me think I am missing an easy solution.

Thanks in advance.

There's very little magic to this. /etc/rc.d/nfs-common manually calls modprobe. modify the script so it gives more output (remove the -q, add -v)

I poked around a bit on my own this morning. I found that if I started rpcbind and nfs-common by hand (not through /etc/rc.conf) then the NFS module would work without a problem. I added a bunch of printk()s to the nfs module init function to see if it was failing, but none of them were triggered (meaning that the module was never loaded, which makes sense if it's trying to load some directory).

Maybe there is some kind of timing issue during boot that doesn't exist once userland starts?

FalconIndy, thank you for your reply!

I did what you suggested and saw no change. I looked at a number of logs including "everything.log" and saw nothing pertaining to nfs changed.

The problem described by unull still exists.

After yesterdays udev and kmod updates in testing it seems to work now for me. I removed the module from the init ramdisk and it get's autoloaded again.

unull,

Did you pull just udev and kmod from testing or is your whole system updated out of testing?

Did the udev and kmod updates cause any problems that you have detected?

Thanks in advance.

Pulling kmod from testing necessitates pulling udev, mkinitcpio, and initscripts as well. I do not recommend doing this unless you understand the consequences.

Thanks, FalconIndy.

I think I'll just wait.

Just so you know, all problems are solved on all four boxes after today's update.

Thank you all for your help!
