Public bug reported:
Hello!
Thought this one is bug-report for nfs-common. (And I really typed
"ubuntu-bug nfs-common" - I'm innocent! I was redirected!)
I have a debian nfs-server that uses nfs4 and it isn't possible for
ubuntu to use nfs4-mounts properly, because idmapd won't start although
it's configured in /etc/default/nfs-common:
#######################
$ cat /etc/default/nfs-common
NEED_STATD=
STATDOPTS=
NEED_IDMAPD=yes
NEED_GSSD=
#######################
A "ps aux" executed on both server and client shows that on the server
rpc.idmapd is running, but on the client side it's not.
Executing rpc.idmapd on the client manually fails:
#######################
$ sudo rpc.idmapd -fv
rpc.idmapd: libnfsidmap: using domain: localdomain
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: (/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs): No such file or directory
#######################
Easy workaround: create that directory!
#######################
$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs
#######################
Unfortunately, this doesn't fix the problem on all ubuntu machines. I
have three of them: A Powermac G4 with an Ubuntu 11.04 fallback Gnome
2.x-Desktop, a 64bit-machine as a HTPC with a minimal Ubuntu
installation running XBMC and a netbook with Unity-Desktop. The first
two do, the netbook doesn't. Could be a problem with WLAN (the netbook
is not cable-connected) or the server configuration. Got to check a few
things here…
But one thing's clear: As long as the package nfs-common doesn't create
a /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs directory, idmapd won't start and there is
no chance to get nfs4 working properly.
