[Bug 1557015] Re: idmapd not started by systemd on nfs clients (xenial beta1)

[Sebastian Stark]

Ok, my bad. I missed that design change. When something not worked in
the beginning I just assumed that the missing idmapd was the problem.
Probably got confused by the not yet updated documentation in
/usr/share/doc/nfs-common/README.Debian.nfsv4.

Checked again: id mapping is indeed working for me with NFSv4. Sorry for
the wrong bug report!

Title:
  idmapd not started by systemd on nfs clients (xenial beta1)

Status in nfs-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  rpc.idmapd is not started on clients, but it should, especially if
  explicitly enabled in /etc/default/nfs-common. The corresponding
  systemd service appears as masked and its file
  (/lib/systemd/system/idmapd.service) is linked to /dev/null.

  This is a regression from the previous LTS version 14.04 and prevents
  NFSv4 users from upgrading.
