This looks like the output that results from redirecting the output of the
'start' command, *not* the result of running 'exec > /var/log/idmapd.log 2>&1'
*within* the job.

Could you attach your /etc/init/idmapd.conf to this bug report?

Title:
  rpc.idmapd refuses to start

Status in “nfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The following lines in /etc/fstab are missing:

  rpc_pipefs      /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs      defaults        0       0
  nfsd    /proc/fs/nfsd   nfsd    defaults        0       0

  so rpc.idmapd refuses to start with this log:

  rpc.idmapd -v -f
  rpc.idmapd: libnfsidmap: using domain: blubberblase

  rpc.idmapd: libnfsidmap: loaded plugin
  /usr/lib/libnfsidmap/nsswitch.so for method nsswitch

  rpc.idmapd: Expiration time is 600 seconds.
  rpc.idmapd: nfsdopenone: Opening /proc/net/rpc/nfs4.nametoid/channel failed: errno 2 (No such file or directory)
  rpc.idmapd: main: open(/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs): No such file or directory
