By default, the /etc/rc.nfs script starts
the rpc.lockd and rpc.statd daemons
along with the other NFS daemons.
If NFS is already running, you can verify that the rpc.lockd and rpc.statd daemons
are running by following the instructions in Getting the current status of the NFS daemons.
The status of these two daemons should be active. If the rpc.lockd and rpc.statd daemons
are not active, and therefore not running, do the following:
- Using your favorite text editor, open the /etc/rc.nfs file.
- Search for the following lines:
if [ -x /usr/sbin/rpc.statd ]; then
startsrc -s rpc.statd
fi
if [ -x /usr/sbin/rpc.lockd ]; then
startsrc -s rpc.lockd
fi
- If there is a pound sign (#) at the beginning of any of these lines,
delete the character, then save and exit the file. Then start the rpc.statd and rpc.lockd daemons
by following the instructions in Starting the NFS daemons.
Note: Sequence is important. Always start the statd daemon
first.
- If NFS is running and the entries in the /etc/rc.nfs file
are correct, stop and restart the rpc.statd and rpc.lockd daemons
by following the instructions in Stopping the NFS daemons and Starting the NFS daemons.
Note: Sequence
is important. Always start the statd daemon first.
