Bug#619877: rpc.mountd: svc_tli_create: could not bind to requested address

03-28-2011, 07:30 AM

Package: nfs-kernel-server
Version: 1:1.2.3-1
Severity: important

Dear all

After upgrading to 1:1.2.3-1 I cannot start the NFS kernel server
anymore. The following errors are reported:

email:/var/log/everything# /etc/init.d/nfs-common start
Starting NFS common utilities: statd failed!
email:/var/log/everything# /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start
Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon....
Starting NFS kernel daemon: nfsd mountdrpc.mountd: svc_tli_create:

rpc.mountd: svc_tli_create: could not bind to requested address
rpc.mountd: svc_tli_create: could not bind to requested address
rpc.mountd: svc_tli_create: could not bind to requested address
failed!

Before, with 1:1.2.2-5, it was working without any problem.

Is there any recommended way on how to get 1.2.3 working?

Thanks for any reply.

Best regards
Lukas

I had the exact same problem.
I couldn't workout out what was wrong because I didn't have the time to do so.

In my /var/log/daemon.log file I got the following messages when trying to start the nfs-common init script:

Mar 28 22:17:14 gecko rpc.statd[9340]: Version 1.2.3 starting
Mar 28 22:17:14 gecko sm-notify[9341]: Version 1.2.3 starting
Mar 28 22:17:14 gecko sm-notify[9341]: Already notifying clients; Exiting!
Mar 28 22:17:14 gecko rpc.statd[9340]: failed to create RPC listeners, exiting

I ended up going back to the 1.2.2-5 version of the packages which worked again.

The following system information is from when I went back to the older version of the package, but gives an idea of where everything
else is at.

Hello Lukas,

it's this bug you're seeing:

https://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190

I think you have to remove the "--port" from the option
/etc/default/nfs-kernel-server as a workaround.

Package: nfs-kernel-server
Version: 1:1.2.3-1
Followup-For: Bug #619877

Got exactly the same problem, considered it IPv6-related and managed to solve
it by

1) replacing portmap with rpcbind ("apt-get purge portmap" was enough,
rpcbind was installed automatically on this).

2) disabling net.ipv6.bindv6only ("sysctl net.ipv6.bindv6only=0"; should
be also changed in system-wide default setting like /etc/sysctl.conf
or so)

Regards,

grunge

Hello,

the original problem of this bugreport:

"rpc.mountd: svc_tli_create: could not bind to requested address"

is not solved with version "1:1.2.3-2".

(although the second problem: "portmap vs. rpcbind" is fixed)

I think you need to import the patch attached to this bug-report:

https://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190

cheers, Marc

Hello,

I think the changes in 1:1.2.3-2 are only part of the fix.

Perhaps you should consider applying the patch from bugzilla as a debian patch
until it's included upstream. Without it, if --port option is used, only v1
mountd service is registered, which doesn't support long files.

Removing --port makes firewall configuration nontrivial if not impossible.

Yes - same here. I reported that already.

ACK - I think the maintainer got it

Yeah, I've missed it -- I wasn't subscribed to the bug, and your mail hadn't
appeared on b.d.o page until after I've sent mine.

Sorry for duplication.

Hello,

I am referring to the latest version of package nfs-kernel-server
(nfs-kernel-server_1%3a1.2.3-2_amd64.deb).

This version of the package will install rpcbind (and remove portmap):

The rpc.mountd start up problem is only partially resolved. If you start
the mountd with --port option (via /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server), you
still get this error message:

"rpc.mountd: svc_tli_create: could not bind to requested address"

However, the following workaround can be applied (in
/etc/default/nfs-kernel-server):

RPCMOUNTDOPTS="--manage-gids --no-nfs-version 2 --port 32771"

In my case, the mountd works fine with this.
