Yes, I am still using +DHCP. I suppose I am just being lazy but I set up my Smoothwall +firewall ten years ago to function as my network's DHCP server and I +haven't given it a second thought since then - apart from updating to +Smoothwall 2 about six years ago. + +The bit about the personal firewall could do with a fuller discussion. +Having the firewall on or off doesn't change your exposure to the +problem as your NFS server simply does not respond to requests from +remote clients. Omitting the port configuration line gets it working +again, BUT, it appears that the personal firewall in Mageia must be +expecting the server to be listening on 4003, and now it isn't, so the +"fix" doesn't work with the firewall. It is only a workaround and I'll +need to do a little more digging to find out why the port 4003 +assignment doesn't work the way it does when the NFS server is first +configured in MCC. + +It looks like Mandriva 2010.2 is also immune to the problem, which is +interesting as it also uses rpc.mountd and the same port assignment. +It might be more to do with how the services are stopped and started +rather than an actual whoopsie in the server code. I'll take a much +closer look in that area; having a working system and one with a +problem should make it a little easier to spot the cause, you'd think. + +Richard + + + +On 09/03/2012, imnotpc <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">imnotpc at rock3d.net</A>> wrote: +><i> On 03/08/2012 09:43 PM, WALKER RICHARD wrote: +</I>>><i> I found a problem with the NFS server in Mageia 1 which doesn't seem +</I>>><i> to exist on Mandriva 2010.0 (haven't checked 2010.2 yet - later - +</I>>><i> bedtime now). +</I>>><i> +</I>>><i> Although everything worked the first time, when the server was first +</I>>><i> set up, it has consistently failed to work since then.
