There are some reports, but they aren't easy to follow. #830777 is already fixed by the added keyutils dependency. #748074 is related, but also affects the server side. It also discusses an ordering cycle between the units. The Pipefs-Directory setting in /etc/idmapd.conf (which isn't a conffile) had to be changed manually after the wheezy -> squeeze upgrade. /etc/default/nfs-common says the NEED_ options are autodetected, but they aren't anymore in squeeze. (AFAIK upstream split up the service files, which makes sense.) The grace interval should be easily configurable in /etc/default/nfs-common (#601335, but the grace time must also be set). > Where they problems with nfs-utils or the kernel or something else? > > Users have had kernel crashes[1] with NFS on jessie kernels and combined > with systemd issues, I felt it didn't give a good impression.

I hope the NFS developers give some input. -- Regards, Feri
