Package: nfs-common
Version: 1:1.2.8-9.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I have a system that acts as an NFSv4 client. It does not have
nfs-kernel-server installed. After a recent reboot, I found that none
of the files in my NFS-mounted home directory was owned by me any more:
bjh21@wraith:~/config/platforms-ansible$ ls -l ~/.ssh
total 609
-rw-r--r-- 1 4294967294 4294967294 616 Aug 14 2015 authorized_keys
...
I found that rpc.idmapd was not running, and could not be started:
wraith:/home/bjh21/config/platforms-ansible# service nfs-idmapd status
* nfs-idmapd.service - NFSv4 ID-name mapping service
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nfs-idmapd.service; static; vendor preset
Active: inactive (dead)
wraith:/home/bjh21/config/platforms-ansible# service nfs-idmapd start
Failed to start nfs-idmapd.service: Unit nfs-server.service not found.
When I copied /lib/systemd/system/nfs-idmapd.service to
/etc/systemd/system and commented out the line
"BindsTo=nfs-server.service", things got better and "service nfs-idmapd
start" worked. After a few seconds, my home directory had the correct
owner:
bjh21@wraith:~/config/platforms-ansible$ ls -l ~/.ssh
total 609
-rw-r--r-- 1 bjh21 bjh21 616 Aug 14 2015 authorized_keys
I think that nfs-common should arrange that rpc.idmapd is started even on
systems without nfs-kernel-server installed, or at least that there is a
note in NEWS.Debian telling users how to turn it back on.
