rpc.mountd is failing to launch so it is not wasting cycles.

rpc.statd on the other hand is launching and
http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.4/html/Deployment_Guide/ch-nfs.html
does say that it is not needed.

If you comment out the rpc.mountd and rpc.statd sections of
/etc/init.d/nfs (or back up /etc/init.d/nfs and delete them), can you
still mount your shares?
