Subject: svc: failed to register lockdv1 RPC service (errno 97).

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
