After switching from 2.6.29.2 to 2.6.30-rc5 I get this new message during boot of my home server: svc: failed to register lockdv1 RPC service (errno 97). This looks to be the result of the following commit: commit 363f724cdd3d2ae554e261be995abdeb15f7bdd9 Author: Chuck Lever SUNRPC: rpcb_register() should handle errors silently Move error reporting for RPC registration to rpcb_register's caller. Question is: do I really want to know this? I assume the "failure" happened with previous kernels too, but silently. If I do need to know this, it would be nice if the error was more informative. I had to grep the kernel source to see that 97 is -EAFNOSUPPORT and that that means "Address family not supported by protocol". And even with that I don't know whether it's IPv4 or IPv6 where the failure is. My impression is that this is a bogus message from a user's perspective and that it should not be displayed. Cheers, FJP
