hi,
had the same problem again, and running 'netstat
-anptu | grep :2049' as root tells me that the statd
had stolen that port 

udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:2049            0.0.0.0:* 
                         954/rpc.statd

i think this is to do with the manner in which FC2
starts the nfs (and related services) -- the 'nfs'
service starts nfsd/quotad/mountd whilst there is a
seperate 'nfslock' service which starts lockd and it
is this latter service which is started first.

i'll take a look at the scripts and re-order them.
many thanks for the pointers
ray
