Please don't kill me if I was supposed to create a new bug report rather than update this one.
This bug is still present in Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily Werewolf). My Ubuntu NFS client is working fine, apart from the fact that no idmapd is running. # pgrep idmap # # dpkg-query -W nfs-common nfs-common 1:1.2.8-9ubuntu10 # systemctl status nfs-idmapd ● nfs-idmapd.service - NFSv4 ID-name mapping service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nfs-idmapd.service; static; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) # systemctl start nfs-idmapd Failed to start nfs-idmapd.service: Unit nfs-server.service failed to load: No such file or directory. I don't have nfs-kernel-server package installed and the dependency is still present in /lib/systemd/system/nfs-idmapd.service file # grep BindsTo /lib/systemd/system/nfs-idmapd.service BindsTo=nfs-server.service I have one more remark in http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux- nfs/msg49996.html Steve mentions that you want to use nfsidmap, however the nfs-idmapd.service unit file starts rpc.idmapd. # grep ExecStart /lib/systemd/system/nfs-idmapd.service ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rpc.idmapd $RPCIDMAPDARGS ** Tags added: wily -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1428961 Title: idmapd not started when booting under systemd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/1428961/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
