The issue was investigated because it was found that file shares were not created on a computer with Debian trixie after the same installation and configuration procedure had been followed as for Debian bookworm. Results are being compared with this system. The installation of nfs-kernel-server created /etc/exports file in the system just as was the case for Debian 12.
Normally the command exportfs -a will parse the exports file and produce status messages for each entry found. In this case there is no output from this command. The /etc/exports file has exactly the same contents as the one that was used with the preceding Debian bookworm installation for this computer, which also has the same directory structure as the previous installation, so all file paths are the same. The alternate command tried is systemctl status nfs-server as it appears systemd uses the nfs-server service name rather than nfs-kernel-server. The output from this command, when it reaches the section of the output that includes status messages relating to the file share parameters in /etc/exports, is instead returning the message: nfsdctl: lockd configuration failure It’s not clear whether this indicates an issue with the exports file or a configuration problem in a component of the nfs-server service. Apart from this error there is nothing to indicate the nfs-server service is operating other than normally as the other parts of the status message appear to be normal (compared with a known working system running Debian 12). No changes have been made to any part of the nfs.conf file on either system at any time. > On 26 Apr 2025, at 03:12, Debian Bug Tracking System <ow...@bugs.debian.org> > wrote: > > 1104...@bugs.debian.org <mailto:1104...@bugs.debian.org>
