Package: quota Version: 4.06-1 Severity: normal When using NFSv4, rpc.quotad needs to know what the export root (fsid=0) is. In order to know this, it reads /var/lib/nfs/etab. When nfs-server starts, it will populate this file (or rather, exportfs does this in ExecStartPre). However, the quotarpc unit has no ordering on nfs-server, leading to the possibility that /var/lib/nfs/etab could still be empty at the time quotarpc is started.
As a fix, I suggest adding the following directives to quotarpc.service: After=nfs-server.service BindsTo=nfs-server.service This does not handle changes in the export root if the NFS server is reloaded, but that isn't the case currently anyway. Currently the unit also refers to nfs-server.target, but this seems to not exist anymore in nfs-utils and should probably be removed. It is also suggested in #985952 to change the Wants dependency on rpcbind.service to BindsTo and get rid of the condition on /sbin/rpcbind, perhaps this can also be include in the fix for this issue. Kind regards, Vincent Vanlaer
