[TriLUG] erroneous SM_UNMON request

[Dave Sorenson]

A quick google turned up this snippet:

"Basically it means that your rpc.statd daemon is unaware of a lot of
its clients. It is probably failing to save their IP-numbers to disk.
Check therefore that the directories /var/lib/nfs/sm, and
/var/lib/nfs/sm.bak (or /var/lib/nfs/statd/sm, ... on some platforms)
are writable by the rpc.statd process. "

Hope this helps!
