Thanks for the hint. I removed the 'exec echo' lines and now get the following log: local@vogone:~$ cat /var/log/idmapd.log idmapd stop/pre-start, process 848 local@vogone:~$ sudo status idmapd [sudo] password for local: idmapd stop/waiting local@vogone:~$ If i try to start idmapd manually it still works: root@vogone:~# rpc.idmapd -v -f rpc.idmapd: libnfsidmap: using domain: ABCDE.net rpc.idmapd: libnfsidmap: loaded plugin /usr/lib/libnfsidmap/nsswitch.so for method nsswitch rpc.idmapd: Expiration time is 600 seconds. rpc.idmapd: Opened /proc/net/rpc/nfs4.nametoid/channel rpc.idmapd: Opened /proc/net/rpc/nfs4.idtoname/channel rpc.idmapd: main: open(/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs): No such file or directory root@vogone:~# mount -t rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefsroot@vogone:~# rpc.idmapd -v -f rpc.idmapd: libnfsidmap: using domain: ABCDE.net rpc.idmapd: libnfsidmap: loaded plugin /usr/lib/libnfsidmap/nsswitch.so for method nsswitch rpc.idmapd: Expiration time is 600 seconds. rpc.idmapd: Opened /proc/net/rpc/nfs4.nametoid/channel rpc.idmapd: Opened /proc/net/rpc/nfs4.idtoname/channel > > but the idmapper is now running after a reboot. > > Surprising. Can you reproduce the original failure now? Does 'status > idmapd' show the upstart job running? Yes, if i keep the exec echo lines in the config file i get the pid with the status command: local@vogone:~$ status idmapd idmapd start/running, process 884 > -- > You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug > report. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927908 > > Title: > rpc.idmapd refuses to start > > Status in “nfs-utils” package in Ubuntu: > Invalid > > Bug description: > The following lines in /etc/fstab are missing: > > rpc_pipefs /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs defaults 0 > 0 > nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd nfsd defaults 0 0 > > so rpc.idmapd refuses to start with this log: > > rpc.idmapd -v -f > rpc.idmapd: libnfsidmap: using domain: blubberblase > > rpc.idmapd: libnfsidmap: loaded plugin > /usr/lib/libnfsidmap/nsswitch.so for method nsswitch > > rpc.idmapd: Expiration time is 600 seconds. > rpc.idmapd: nfsdopenone: Opening /proc/net/rpc/nfs4.nametoid/channel > failed: errno 2 (No such file or directory) > rpc.idmapd: main: open(/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs): No such file or > directory > > To manage notifications about this bug go to: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/927908/+subscriptions > -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927908 Title: rpc.idmapd refuses to start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/927908/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
