[Solved] NFS server fails to start

Out of the blue I received those error when I tried to start nfs-server. I digged into google however the only solution was to reboot the server which did not really helped. I started rpcbind and nfs-common without any problems before nfs-server.

Here is my exports

/backup/TV 10.0.1.11(rw,sync,subtree_check,root_squash)

The errors I receive while starting nfs-server

rpc.nfsd: Setting version failed: errno 16 (Device or resource busy)
rpc.nfsd: writing fd to kernel failed: errno 13 (Permission denied)
rpc.nfsd: unable to set any sockets for nfsd

And dmesg tells me

svc: failed to register lockdv1 RPC service (errno 13).
RPC: server localhost requires stronger authentication.

It is actually the same problem as this topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=88599

Re: [Solved] NFS server fails to start

After some research I found this could be linked to a problem with ipv6 or /etc/hosts.allow or hosts.deny.

However those solution do not fix my problem. Any help ?

That's quite boring to transfer files via usb key ;(

I'm not familiar with NFS at all so I can't help you there, but maybe you can set up a Samba service while figuring out the issue. Beats usb sticks.

Re: [Solved] NFS server fails to start

Thanks for the help but it was actually one mistake I made with iptables ;(. It seems that even flushing iptables and restarting nfs-server was not enough. I had to restart the computer, no idea why. But with a fresh iptables it works fine.

Re: [Solved] NFS server fails to start

I was searching though Arch wiki but couldn't find - do I need to install and run "rpcbind"?
In rc.conf I have

syslog-ng network netfs crond dbus hal cups alsa bluetooth ntpd samba sensors gdm
