Comment 4 for bug 289816

Ok I found the problem :

The server root / had been chmoded to 700 instead of 755 as expected, so that /etc/init.d/nfs-common could not start rpc.statd :

tail /var/log/syslog was showing : rpc.statd[11542]: open (/var/lib/nfs/state): Permission denied

"state" file did not exist and couldn't be created.

Thanks to this post here that helped a lot : http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=43B514AC.7080400%40thinrope.net&forum_name=nfs

So that's no Firefox bug. Just a strange behavior. And this report can be closed.

Anyway, if you get this kind of behavior as the one described above when starting Firefox 3 over NFSv4, check that way... ;-)

Bye,

Frédéric.
