Since end of November I experienced problems with my nfs server: It failed to respond to mount requests, and clients reported that it was down. In the daemon log I find this error message during startup: 'nfsd[XXXX]: nfssvc: Setting version failed: errno 16 (Device or resource busy)'. In a message on debian-user of Jan. 2007 it is said that this is due to another set of nfs-kernel-servers being started. I found that I had a startup file for nfs-user-server, /etc/init.d/nfs-user-server, while the package had been removed. Purging the package nfs-user-server, thereby removing the left-over startup file, solved the problem, and my nfs server is responding to mount requests again.
I run the testing distribution. I suppose that the package nfs-user-server was automatically removed during an upgrade at the end of November because no packages depended on it any more. Apparently, the left-over startup file did not do proper checking, did start up and caused a problem. My problem is now solved. I am reporting it here so that others can read this. I suppose I cannot file a bug against an obsolete package.
