In order to fix this error, someone needs to run these commands on each
nfs server.

    40  service nfs stop
    41  rm -f /var/lib/nfs/etab /var/lib/nfs/rmtab /var/lib/nfs/state
/var/lib/xtab
    42  touch /var/lib/nfs/etab /var/lib/nfs/rmtab /var/lib/nfs/state
/var/lib/xtab
    43  chmod 644 /var/lib/nfs/etab /var/lib/nfs/rmtab /var/lib/nfs/state
/var/lib/xtab
    44  service nfs start

This issue seems to be more of an NFS issue than a kernel one, but I was
wondering what other people had to say about it.  There are a lot of
responses and questions concerning this error on google, but VERY few
people have a response or method of fixing it, much less finding a
permanent fix.

Has anyone found a fix or work-around that does not require restarting
NFS?

Very few people ought to be running RH-9 out there given that the
official support expired several years ago.
Not running RH9, but running RHEL WS3, Taroon Update 4, however, the nfs-utils is 1.0.6-33EL, I know there were many fixes in 1.0.7+, could nfs-utils be the problem? The kernel version in question is 2.4.21-31.ELa1smp.


Are you still seeing this problem with 2.6 kernels with /proc/fs/nfsd
properly mounted?
Not using 2.6.


Cheers,
 Trond
