Description Tim Johnston 2015-02-13 02:07:08 UTC

I previously had:

$ lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
Release:        12.04
Codename:       precise

$ dpkg -l 
ii  nfs-kernel-server                   1:1.2.5-3ubuntu3.2                  support for NFS kernel server


Now updated to:

$ lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release:        14.04
Codename:       trusty

$ dpkg -l 
ii  nfs-kernel-server                   1:1.2.8-6ubuntu1.1     amd64                  support for NFS kernel server

With really ancient client. 486 ISA-only terminal. kernel vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1.

This a ltsp diskless client that uses nfs as root filesystem.

Before the update to Ubuntu 14.04, everything work fine, AFTER the update, no NFS Mount. Errors:

> nfs: server not responding.

then after several minutes:

> nfs: task 82 can't get a request slot. 

I understand that the hardware is obsolete and rarely used these days, but up until the upgrade, it was still doing its job perferctly well.
