NAME

rpc.statd − NSM status monitor

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/rpc.statd [-F]

DESCRIPTION

The rpc.statd server implements the NSM (Network Status Monitor) RPC protocol. This service is somewhat misnomed, since it doesn’t actually provide active monitoring as one might suspect; instead, NSM implements a reboot notification service. It is used by the NFS file locking service, rpc.lockd, to implement lock recovery when the NFS server machine crashes and reboots.

Operation
For each NFS client or server machine to be monitored, rpc.statd creates a file in /var/lib/nfs/sm. When starting, it iterates through these files and notifies the peer rpc.statd on those machines.

OPTIONS

-F

By default, rpc.statd forks and puts itself in the background when started. The -F argument tells it to remain in the foreground. This option is mainly for debugging purposes.

FILES

/var/lib/nfs/sm/state
/var/lib/nfs/sm/*
/var/lib/nfs/sm.bak/*
