  • "but the first two times this worked without a problem" ... reminds me of Russian roulette. Does lsof -b hang? Commented Jan 2, 2015 at 12:26
  • @muru Yes it hangs, I updated the Q with the output. BTW, I never heard anyone complain about losing with Russian roulette, so it must be win-win game. I usually expect things to work never, once, or always, not some count X times, but maybe the circumstances were different. Commented Jan 2, 2015 at 13:26
  • Which distro are you using? The process varies a lot. Commented Jan 2, 2015 at 14:32

  • Not sure how it works in Ubuntu with upstart and all. You probably want to restart all the services in the nfs-common package, looks like there are a few. Order likely matters as well, so try stopping then starting in order of dependency. You probably also want to do rpcbind as your last stop/first start. I have done this before on Debian, but it just has one nice nfs-common service. Commented Jan 2, 2015 at 15:03
