Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nfs-common
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04
Package: nfs-common
Version: 1:1.2.0-4ubuntu4
Despite having the fix to #484209, I witnessed a box that still had
problems starting statd at boot:
init: statd pre-start process (xxx) terminated with status 1
etc.
Turning on console output, I saw that statd was reporting a chdir error:
statd: Could not chdir: No such file or directory
Doing some Googling and guesswork, I eventually determined that it was
failing to access /var/lib/nfs. On this particular box, /var is a
separate partition from root, and I could see from boot.log that statd
was being started before /var was finished mounting. I believe this
race is simply fixed by the following dependency in
/etc/init/statd.conf:
start on ((started portmap or mounting TYPE=nfs)
and local-filesystems)
** Affects: nfs-utils (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
