I am running a Red Hat 7.0 server and have a NFS mount to another machine. It has worked flawlessly for a year now, but is now filling my console window with the following message every minute or so:

lockd: failed to monitor 10.12.34.1

Any ideas?

Hi,

Have you tryed disabling lockd?

As stated in "man lockd"
--
The rpc.lockd program starts the NFS lock manager (NLM) on kernels that don't start it automatically. However, since most kernels do start it automatically, rpc.lockd. is usually not required. Even so, running it anyway is harmless.
--
Maybe your kernel already starts the NFS lock manager?
