[...] Very useful information. Could you please test editing nfs-blkmap.service on your system and replace: PIDFile=/var/run/blkmapd.pid with: PIDFile=/run/blkmapd.pid .. and report back if that solves the issue or not? (It looks to me like debian/patches/21-no-more-var-run.patch needs to be updated to also cover systemd/nfs-blkmap.service ) Regards, Andreas Henriksson
