Hello all,

I'm new aboard and, although I've been using nfs for some time now,
I've never really stopped to learn much about it.
Now I've got a problem.

I'm exporting homes.
on the server (192.168.172.30)
/home client(rw,no_root_squash,sync)

on the client(192.168.172.31) fstab
server:/home      /home           nfs     tcp,rw          0       0

This seemed to be working ok until I upgraded the kernel on the nfs
server to 2.6.16

Now, when a users opens his X session the nfs client console says
lockd: couldn't create RPC handle for 192.168.172.30

I have found a thread on this list not long ago so I tried followed it.
Below, I answer some of the same questions asked on that thread hoping
this will give some clues.

>Does 'rpcinfo -u w.x.y.z 100021' work from the server?

rpcinfo -u 192.168.172.31 100021
program 100021 version 1 ready and waiting
rpcinfo: RPC: Program/version mismatch; low version =3D 1, high version =3D=
 4
program 100021 version 2 is not available
program 100021 version 3 ready and waiting
program 100021 version 4 ready and waiting

on the client (192.168.172.31) console is says
svc: unknown version (0)
svc: unknown version (2)

> Is anything at all listening on port 32768 on '192.168.172.31'?
netstat -ap | grep 32768
udp        0      0 *:32768                 *:*

on client
ps -ef|grep lock
root      1152     1  0 10:05 ?        00:00:00 [lockd]

/home is mounted and I can use it.
But why does the nfs client console fill up with these "lockd:
couldn't create RPC handle for 192.168.172.30" ?

Thankyou for any help.
Chris.
