[Bug 927908] Re: rpc.idmapd refuses to start

[Steve Langasek]

Oh, interesting; I've just managed to reproduce exactly this sort of
problem here (with incomprehensible output) with the gssd job.  Sorry
for assuming user error there.  I'll see if I can puzzle out why we're
getting this useless "stop/pre-start" message instead of a useful log.

Title:
  rpc.idmapd refuses to start

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

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
