So I'm trying to go through the document "Setting Up A Highly Available NFS Server" (http://www.howtoforge.com/high_availability_nfs_drbd_heartbeat) and I've run into an issue.

The document (page 3 (http://www.howtoforge.com/high_availability_nfs_drbd_heartbeat_p3), part 7, "Some Further NFS Configuration") recommends moving /var/lib/nfs and then creating a soft link in it's place pointing to the new location. However, when I try to do this, I get a bunch of permission errors about being unable to delete certain directories (related to statd, I think).

I'm trying to do this on Debian 4.1 and the document is for Debian 3.1. I'm thinking that the directory structure has changed a little bit. Maybe I need to move /var/lib/nfs/nfs instead?

Any ideas on this?

Turns out I needed to reboot after completing step 4 which isn't mentioned.
