Error Message

Debian or Raspbian: nfs-kernel-server not starting portmapper is not running … (warning) rpcbind.target

Fix Steps

Here is my first try, but it doesn’t work for me. It just reset the configs. So if you messed it up, try this first.

apt-get purge rpcbind nfs-kernel-server nfs-common
apt-get install nfs-kernel-server

Now check the service startup dependencies by command below. And make sure you find rpcbind before nfs service.

systemctl list-dependencies nfs-kernel-server.service

If it is not, unfortunately you should try purge and install them again as mentioned above, which should fixes the dependency issue and will also remove the config files, like /etc/exports. Backup it in advance if necessary!

Next, I have a look into /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server and find its start level is 2 3 4 5. However, nfs-common and rpcbind have differenct run level, I change it to the same, i.e. 2 3 4 5.

# Have a look at these files' runlevel
/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server
/etc/init.d/nfs-common
/etc/init.d/rpcbind

This is the runlevel of nfs-kernel-server

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          nfs-kernel-server
# Required-Start:    $remote_fs nfs-common $portmap $time
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs nfs-common $portmap $time
# Should-Start:      $named
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Kernel NFS server support
# Description:       NFS is a popular protocol for file sharing across
#                    TCP/IP networks. This service provides NFS server
#                    functionality, which is configured via the
#                    /etc/exports file.
### END INIT INFO

Then try to update-rc.d the changed init scripts with defaults. First try fails. The trick is to remove and add them again.

update-rc.d -f rpcbind remove
update-rc.d rpcbind defaults

update-rc.d -f nfs-common remove
update-rc.d nfs-common defaults

update-rc.d -f nfs-kernel-server remove
update-rc.d nfs-kernel-server defaults

After that, check the order of the services. It should be rpcbind, nfs-common, and nfs-kernel-server.

Reboot the server, it works for me now! Cheers!

P.S.

I posted the solution at raspberrypi.stackexchange.com. If you find this helpful, vote if for me. Thank you.

I have a question to your tutorial:
“However, nfs-common and rpcbind have differenct run level, I change it to the same, i.e. 2 3 4 5.”

How can I do this?

Thank you very much for this tutorial.

  Hi Chris, you should find the following files
  /etc/init.d/nfs-common
  /etc/init.d/rpcbind
  
  and edit the “Default-Start” to 2 3 4 5
