Hi all,
I have setup a CentOS6.3 x86_64 host to act as a nfs server. According to RHEL6 docs, portmap is not needed when you use NFSv4, but in my host I need to start rpcbind service to make NFSv4 works.
My /etc/sysconfig/nfs
# # Define which protocol versions mountd # will advertise. The values are "no" or "yes" # with yes being the default MOUNTD_NFS_V2="no" MOUNTD_NFS_V3="no" # # # Path to remote quota server.

And rpcinfo -p:

Please, any idea??

I wasn't previously aware of that, but I just stopped rpcbind on both my CentOS 6 server and Fedora 17 workstation, and was able to mount /home by NFS.
Is your client mounting NFS4 by default, or configured to do so correctly?

Yes, all clients are configured to tuse nfsv4. Strange, if rpcbind process is stopped after nfs services are up, all works, but if rpcbind is stopped, nfs services doesn't go up ... I don't understand why rpcbind service needs to be up to start nfs services with you use nfsv4 only ...

I'd guess you configured NFS to provide both v3 and v4 services, so the daemon needs to register with the portmapper when it starts up. Your logfile should contain a message to that effect.
Stopping rpcbind later doesn't directly affect the daemon. It just prevents clients from locating the NFSv3 service via the portmap mechanism.
If I'm right, changing the NFS configuration to provide *only* v4 service should allow you to start the NFS service without the portmapper.
