Folks,
I just completed upgrading my wife's system to 12.04.1 LTS, no problems were
reported or observed.
Just prior to the upgrade I backed up her home directory to an archive
partition. Which is mounted manually as needed via nfs. No problems were
encountered.
After the upgrade I tried to mount the nfs partition (as a test) using:
sudo mount /big_archive
and received the following messages:
mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
OK! So I read the message again and DID what it said, added -o nolock to the
above mount command. It worked... I have added the option to my /etc/fstab entry
(see below) and tested it again. Still works...
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified
This should have gotten my attention the first time!!!
I tried:
sudo start statd
start: Job is already running: statd
I can ping the remote system successfully. The entry in /etc/fstab for
big_archive is:
