nfs question

[João Borsoi Soares <joao intrasystems com br>]

Hello list,

I've set up a nfs server, and I was having a problem when booting the
system. I was getting the following message:

rpc.nfsd: nfssvc: Address already in use

Well, I found out the problem. My server is a nfs server but also a nfs
client (through netfs). Redhat setup application made boot service order
like that:

1) nfslock
2) netfs
3) nfs

Starting nfslock and after netfs makes nfs 2049 port unavailable. So I
forced netfs to be started after netfs and the problem was solved.

Does anyone knows why that happens? Is my solution the best one? Why
redhat setup application does not put the correct boot order in this
case?

Thanks,
Joao.
