Thanks, I seem to be past this issue.
Everyone starts off somewhere. Your assumption is not unreasonable, it
doesn't make a whole lot of sense to have nfsd start without rpcbind
running. We probably should ensure rpcbind is running in the nfsd rc
script. I can see there is a dependency there but I don't think
anything actually ensures it is running. I guess because the assumption
is that the dependencies on boot would have started it beforehand.
Anyway, glad you are over that hurdle.
