nfs-kernel-server not always start at startup

[Canedje]

It looks like that after a reboot the nfs-kernel-server not always starting up.
I do have two RPI's (RPI1 and RPI3)

I conclude this because I do try to mount this RPI1 to RPI3 in /etc/fstab. at RPI1 sometimes mounting is not working.
Also df -h gives then no results (not able to show df -h because the mounting is not made??)
I have to break the df -h command with CTRL-C
sudo mount -a is also not working

If I do start the nfs kernel at RPI3 by the command :

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart 

the mount at RPI1 is working again and I can do df -h after rebooting.

The strangepart is that the command: sudo systemctl status nfs-kernel-server on RPI3 says it is running:
Even before restarting. But I still have to restart it to make it running properly for RPI1 to mount.

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl status nfs-kernel-server

How do I know sure that the nfs-kernel-server is starting at starup at every time?

[Canedje]

No one a hint?

[rpdom]

The clue is in this line

Code: Select all

Not starting: portmapper is not running ... (warning).

The problem is that the portmapper (prcbind) starts after the nfs-kernel-server, where it whould start before.

There seems to be a solution here viewtopic.php?f=28&t=149002&p=980161

Thanks.
I didn't read that warning
I will try that tonight after work!

[Canedje]

It looks like working.
Thanks again!
