[Bug 993231] [NEW] idmapd doesnt start (wrong rpc_pipefs path)

[Ralph Thesen]

Public bug reported:

Using NFS4 idmapd is necessary to map the ids of nfs mounts.

/var/log/syslog says:

May  2 14:16:30 anon rpc.idmapd[1250]: main: open(/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs): No such file or directory
May  2 14:16:30 anon kernel: [   19.549666] init: idmapd main process (1250) terminated with status 1
May  2 14:16:30 anon kernel: [   19.549680] init: idmapd respawning too fast, stopped

mount says:

rpc_pipefs on /run/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw,relatime)

Remark: on Lucid it is:

rpc_pipefs on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)

Workaround:

ln -s /run/rpc_pipefs /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs
