On Debian 12.6 everything was fine, then I updated today and had nfs-idmapd.service failing with:
Aug 31 14:44:17 tuesday rpc.idmapd[2235967]: Unable to inotify_add_watch(/run/rpc_pipefs/nfs): No such file or directory It looks like this is because nfs-common has /etc/nfs.conf contain: [general] pipefs-directory=/run/rpc_pipefs When this has been moved to /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs. That's the default path that rpc.idmapd is expecting, and there's no attempt at utilising the -p CL arg to change this. It's also where /lib/systemd/system/var-lib-nfs-rpc_pipefs.mount causes it to be mounted. That unit is the sole Requires/After in rpc_pipefs.target, which is itself a Requires/After on nfs-idmapd.service. My copy of /etc/nfs.conf was auto-created in the bullseye > bookworm upgrade, and on bookworm 12.7 /usr/share/nfs-common/conffiles/nfs.conf still contains the /run/ path. Editing /etc/nfs.conf to have the /var/... path allows rpc.idmapd to start correctly. So, it looks like the nfs-common nfs.conf needs updating, and of course an update pushed out to ensure that all users *get* that change as well. -- - Athanasius (he/him) = Athanasius(at)miggy.org / https://miggy.org/ GPG/PGP Key: https://miggy.org/gpg-key "And it's me who is my enemy.
