[svlug] Mounting drives

[Skip Evans]

Hey Kevin and all,

Trying to mount the file systems, my client Xu 
machine gave this in response to dmesg:

[17179863.300000] portmap: server localhost not 
responding, timed out
[17179863.300000] RPC: failed to contact portmap 
(errno -5).
[17179898.300000] portmap: server localhost not 
responding, timed out
[17179898.300000] RPC: failed to contact portmap 
(errno -5).
[17179898.548000] lockd_up: no pid, 4 users??
[17179933.548000] portmap: server localhost not 
responding, timed out
[17179933.548000] RPC: failed to contact portmap 
(errno -5).
[17179968.548000] portmap: server localhost not 
responding, timed out
[17179968.548000] RPC: failed to contact portmap 
(errno -5).
[17180003.548000] portmap: server localhost not 
responding, timed out
[17180003.548000] RPC: failed to contact portmap 
(errno -5).
[17185560.256000] lockd_down: no lockd running.

So it is an issue with portmapper???

What should I try next?

Thanks!
Skip
