NFS does not start during boot process

Linux and Unix-Like Red Hat

Hello,

I am facing some issues during boot process of rhel 6.2
It takes too long time (~10 min) for the node to come up...
The boot process stuck while it trying to start NFS and does not continue until timeout.

In the boot.log file i see

Starting NFS quotas: Cannot register service: RPC: Timed out
rpc.rquotad: unable to register (RQUOTAPROG, RQUOTAVERS, udp).
[FAILED]

Starting NFS daemon: rpc.nfsd: writing fd to kernel failed: errno 110 (Connection timed out)
rpc.nfsd: unable to set any sockets for nfsd
[FAILED]

Any idea?

Thanks and Regards

Is your portmapper running?

# service portmapper status

If portmapper is running, try disabling SELinux and see if this mitigates the problem.

Thanks for the responce fpmurphy.

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo

file was missing and causing that issue..
After creating the file, the service started properly.
