Full Discussion: nfsd won't start at boot up
Operating Systems Solaris nfsd won't start at boot up Post 66360 by reborg on Sunday 13th of March 2005 05:26:11 PM

Sorry I wasn't very clear there, I meant when you reboot the machine, but one think I did spot there was:

62 /sbin/sh /sbin/rc2

That definitely shouldn't be there, looks like your sever isn't making it fully up to run level 3, and so /etc/rc3 and hence the contents of /etc/rc3.d never get run.

This also explains why your other "symptoms" occur.

You need to find out why this is happening, but if you need to get the server up and running normally, you could just kill pid 62 and ssh and all the rest should come up.

You might see something if you truss the rc2 script, maybe, maybe not
truss -wall -rall -f -o rc2.txt -p 62

rpc.nfsd

rpc.nfsd(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       rpc.nfsd(8)

NAME

       rpc.nfsd - NFS server process

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd [-p port] nproc

DESCRIPTION

       The  rpc.nfsd program implements the user level part of the NFS service. The main functionality is handled by the nfsd.o kernel module; the
       user space program merely starts the specified number of kernel threads.

       The rpc.mountd server provides an ancially service needed to satisfy mount requests by NFS clients.

OPTIONS

       -p port
	      specify a diferent port to listen on for NFS requests. By default, rpc.nfsd will listen on port 2049.

       nproc  specify the number of NFS server threads. By default, just one thread is started. However, for optimum performance  several  threads
	      should be used. The actual figure depends on the number of and the work load created by the NFS clients, but a useful starting point
	      is 8 threads. Effects of modifying that number can be checked using the nfsstat(8) program.

SEE ALSO

       rpc.mountd(8), exportfs(8), rpc.rquotad(8), nfsstat(8).
