Hello All, At server boot, Ganesha registers with rpcbind only after loading all the exports. If export loading takes some time, then there is a window, where clients can get PROGRAM_NOT_AVAILABLE error. What I see is, the client tries to get NLM port number only a few times before converting to IO error. #~/multilock/ml_posix_client OPEN 0 RW create foo 1 OPEN OK 0 3 #### Reboot the server after this.##### LOCKW 0 read 10 10 2 LOCKW ERRNO 5 "Input/output error" "Lock failed" bad token "read 10 10" I understand loading the exports fast will reduce this window but the window will still be there. Also FSALs can take longer to create exports if there are high number of exports. Has anyone seen this? Is it possible to register with rpcbind before loading the exports? Thanks & Regards, Suhrud
