statd error messages - do I need a more recent nfs-utils version?

statd error messages - do I need a more recent nfs-utils version?

[Andreas Behnert]

Hello,

server was running Debian 3.0r1 + kernel 2.2.20 (vanilla) and
some days ago because of various reasons I had to upgrade to
kernel 2.4.x ASAP. Because of some knfsd related fixes in 2.4.21-pre
I did some stability tests and after that I installed 2.4.21-pre7
on the server. With the new kernel statd often causes error messages
in the server log, for instance:

(srv = server
  and three drifferent clients as an example:
   .105 = AIX 5.1-ML2
   .107 = HP-UX 11.0U
   .114 = IRIX 6.5.15)

~~~snip~~~
srv rpc.statd[475]: Received erroneous SM_UNMON request from srv for
  x.x.x.105
srv rpc.statd[475]: Received erroneous SM_UNMON request from srv for
  x.x.x.107
srv rpc.statd[475]: Received erroneous SM_UNMON request from srv for
  x.x.x.114
~~~snip~~~

Are these messages somehow important? With kernel 2.2.20 there were no
such messages.
Debian Woody comes with nfs-utils 1.0 - maybe these messages are related
to this older utils version and I have to update nfs-utils to 1.0.3?
Building the Debian package wouldn't be a problem ...


Regards,
Andreas
