new in 2.6.0-test11: recv_rply: can't decode RPC message!

[Christian Kujau]

hi,

i noticed *lots* of the following messages in my system log:

prinz rpc.statd[455]: recv_rply: can't decode RPC message!
prinz rpc.statd[455]: recv_rply: can't decode RPC message!
prinz rpc.statd[455]: recv_rply: can't decode RPC message!
prinz rpc.statd[455]: recv_rply: can't decode RPC message!

(yes, and so on). it's not flooding the log, but constantly filling it up.

this client is running Debian GNU/Linux (unstable) on i386.

nfs-common and nfs-kernel-server is both 1.0.6-1
(server is Debian GNU/Linux (unstable) on ppc32, not any busier than
before. kernel on the server is 2.4.23)

i noticed the messages on the client firtst with 2.6.0-test11, they did
not occur on any former kernelversions. however, the changelog to
-test11 does not reveal any nfs-related changes.


nfs-utils-1.0.6.orig/utils/statd/rmtcall.c  says at line 227:

if (!xdr_replymsg(xdrs, &mesg)) {
                 note(N_WARNING, "recv_rply: can't decode RPC message!\n");
                 goto done;
         }

any hints?

Thank you,
Christian.
