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

[Ralph Thesen]

if this is not the Ubuntu version, which version is it?

root at anon:~# which rpc.idmapd 
/usr/sbin/rpc.idmapd

root at anon:~# dpkg -S rpc.idmapd
nfs-common: /usr/sbin/rpc.idmapd
nfs-common: /usr/share/man/man8/rpc.idmapd.8.gz

man rpc.idmapd says:
-p path      Specifies the location of the RPC pipefs to be path.  The default value is "/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs".

Title:
  idmapd doesnt start (wrong rpc_pipefs path)

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

Bug description:
  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
