Re: possible bug in the arch NFS server package?

shazeal's fix works for me too. Excellent find, I've been wondering about this issue for some time now. Shazeal, where did you find this information?

Re: possible bug in the arch NFS server package?

This is the patch I am using, works fine with current NFSD. The fix was taken from the Gentoo init script for NFSD.

Re: possible bug in the arch NFS server package?

have you tried with the new nfs-utils package? it's not working for me with the new package. I also got this error while patching:

missing header for unified diff at line 3 of patch

Re: possible bug in the arch NFS server package?

slackhack - assuming the new 1.1.0-2 package works as intended for you, could you post a comment to that effect in Bug #7368? I'd like to close it.

Re: possible bug in the arch NFS server package?

Thanks for the work guys. I just got around to figuring out why I was being denied permision to mount a shared directory on a laptop running Debian Etch. I remembered scanning this article... Anyway, the work has already been done, restarted the service and I'm back in business.

Re: possible bug in the arch NFS server package?

I still have this problem with nfs-utils 1.1.3-2 with my shared pacman cache:

[root ~]# ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg
ls: cannot access /var/cache/pacman/pkg: Permission denied

Hosts.allow got all these:
nfsd: ALL
portmap: ALL
mountd:ALL

Anyone else still got this problem?

Re: possible bug in the arch NFS server package?

I'm having this problem too with nfs-utils 1.2.2-3

It has been a couple years since last post, but the problem I'm having is the same reported here.

Please don't necro-bump: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … Bumping.27

Open a new thread with all of the relevant details. Link to this one if there is an obvious correlation.
