The Testing Area :: February Extensions



chaostic,
 Thank you for your feedback.  This extension uses the /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server script already present in base DSL, and that script is a little different from the one in Debian Woody.  But it does the same thing.  Here is the issue.  /etc/init.d/portmap of course starts portmap.  /etc/init.d/nfs-common starts rpc.statd and (if needed) rpc.lockd but not portmap, though it needs portmap running to work.  /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server starts rpc.nfsd and rcp.mountd as well as issuing /sbin/exportfs, but it does not start portmap, rpc.statd, or rpc.lockd.  On standard Debian, apt-getting nfs-kernel-server has nfs-common as a dependency, which has portmap as a dependency.  And if installed, all three get started at boot in Debian without the need to start them manually.  But not with a DSL live cd, since DSL lets you decide which services to start.  To use nfs-common in DSL, I have to start portmap first if I have rebooted in live mode.  
(Actually,  I have not been able to get nfs-common to work by itself from the DSL menu since it does not start portmap, but please correct me if I am missing something there.)
 I am looking at the nfs-kernel-server script from Woody as well as DSL and they do not start the portmap or nfs-common (rpc.statd rpc.lockd) related services.  Debian apparently uses startup scripts to start them.  But in DSL they must be started manually on a live cd instance.  I am also looking at the nfs script of another distro and it does start portmap and the other nfs scripts.  I guess I could have created a wrapper, but I figured since manual configuration is required to use nfs anyway, starting services is small issue.
