In my configuration, /etc/fstab has only local filesystems. NFS filesystems are not mounted until later by autofs.
This means that idmapd should be starting on the local-filesystems event. rpc_pipefs has "start on (starting gssd or starting idmapd)". My understanding is that rpc_pipefs should run to completion before idmapd is allowed to start. For some reason this dependency insertion based on "starting" isn't working. I find that I can make idmapd fail reliably by making the rpc_pipefs job take longer. If I insert a sleep 10 into /etc/init/rpc_pipefs.conf just before the mount command, idmapd will always fail to start, complaining about /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs just as in comment #7 above. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/643289 Title: idmapd does not starts to work after system reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/643289/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
