[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#432750: portmap _is_ started correctly - NFS shares still don't mount at boot time

Version: 2.86.ds1-38
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

According to my boot log, portmap (including rpc.statd) is started correctly 
by the init scripts:

It says (up there ^) that portmap is already running when it tries to start it 
a second time.

It then sits there for a while before repeating the above messages.  I'm not 
sure if it has a maximum number of retries, but I got bored and gave it a 
Ctrl-C.  When it had finished booting, I went to text console (C-M-F1), 
logged in as root and tried this:

# pidof portmap
1445

...so portmap is definitely running.

If at this point I do a 
# mount -a -t nfs

...then all of the NFS shares mount as they should, so it's not as if portmap 
has started and then hung.

Anyway, I thought this might provide some useful diagnostics - I can run other 
tests if necessary.
