[Bug 1072230] Re: rpcinfo is in /sbin, not /bin => NFS v3 is disabled

[Alan Robertson]

I did two upgrades in a row.  Now that you mention it I seem to recall
it had trouble upgrading NFS.  I don't have any recollection of changing
the script until I changed it.  The usual reason for me fixing init
scripts is bad exit codes (Pacemaker hates incorrect exit codes).  But
I'm quite certain I didn't have that problem with NFS.

I'm having troubles with NFS (v3) that I didn't have before - so this
seemed like a likely cause - which would be why I started this process.
I will try your suggestion tomorrow.  Thanks for looking at it!

My apologies for adding noise.

Title:
  rpcinfo is in /sbin, not /bin => NFS v3 is disabled

Status in “nfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The init script for nfs-kernel-server looks to see if NFS v3 is
  enabled by running rpcinfo.

  This is nice and all, but it will only work if the pathname to rpcinfo
  is correct.

  The original code said this:

                  $PREFIX/bin/rpcinfo -u localhost nfs 3 >/dev/null 2>&1 ||
                      RPCMOUNTDOPTS="$RPCMOUNTDOPTS --no-nfs-version 3"

  
  The correct code is this:

                  $PREFIX/sbin/rpcinfo -u localhost nfs 3 >/dev/null 2>&1 ||
                      RPCMOUNTDOPTS="$RPCMOUNTDOPTS --no-nfs-version 3"

  Either that or rpcinfo is misplaced.

  In any case, this keeps nfs v3 from working - because it ALWAYS turns
  on the --no-nfs-version-3 flag.

  Perhaps this should be checked for at the beginning of the script like
  some of the other commands?
