Comment 113 for bug 672177

Clint, I did have portmap running & stopped prior on this test:
$ sudo service portmap stop
$ sudo service portmap status
portmap stop/waiting
$ sudo -i
# service portmap status
portmap stop/waiting
# apt-get install --reinstall libc6 && shutdown -r now
 on reboot
$ dmesg | grep orphan
again "EXT4-fs (sda5): 13 orphan inodes deleted"

So on the test maverick sytem (that's the one with EXT4-fs (sda1): 4 orphan inodes deleted from comment #111):
$ sudo apt-get purge portmap

Rebooted & then repeated the test, only this time I also check "$ dmesg | grep orphan" before running the test:
$ dmesg | grep orphan
$
Now run the test:
$ dmesg | grep orphan
$

Would you like me to reinstall nfs-common* nfs-kernel-server* portmap* and test again?
