Whenever I try to start the "NFS" service via "service nfs start" I get the following error message:<br />
<br />
Stopping rpcbind: [ OK ]<br />
Starting rpcbind: [ OK ]<br />
Shutting down NFS mountd: [ OK ]<br />
Shutting down NFS daemon: [ OK ]<br />
Shutting down NFS services: [ OK ]<br />
Starting NFS services: [ OK ]<br />
Starting NFS daemon: rpc.nfsd: unable to create inet6 TCP socket: errno 97 (Address family not supported by protocol)<br />
[ OK ]<br />
Starting NFS mountd: [ OK ]<br />
<br />
After doing some research it seems to be a distribution-specific issue that can be fixed with a rebuild of the "nfs-utils" package as seen here -> <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=765909">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=765909</a> [<a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=765909" target="_blank">^</a>]<br />
<br />
To provide more background information I disable IPV6 by doing the following things:<br />
<br />
a) Put "NETWORKING_IPV6=no" in "/etc/sysconfig/network"<br />
b) Put "install ipv6 /bin/true" in "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ipv6.conf "<br />
<br />
While I only serve data out of this server via NFSv4, this is more of annoyance more than anything (clients can still mount shares and read/write data without issue - expect for my mac)<br />
<br />
If you need any further details I'd be happy to provide them.<br />
<br />
Thanks!
