Hi ,
I tried starting rpc.mountd before nfsd and when nfs restarts , client gets nfs stale handle error(RHEL4 GA 2.6.9-5.ELsmp).
If mountd is started after nfsd , everything
works
find.
Why is this dependency or ordering ?

regards,
--kiran

Due to the way rpc.mountd and the kernel (i.e. nfsd) communicate. rpc.mountd need to open files under /proc/net/rpc and if nfsd is not running, those opens will fail.
