** Description changed: + SRU justification: unreliable start of NFS-related services (client and + server) when /var is a separate partition, due to oversight in /run + handling in the rpcbind package. + + Regression potential: minimal. + + Test case: + 1) configure a system with /var as a separate mount point and install rpcbind. + 2) reboot + 3) verify that rpcbind is not started after boot. + 4) upgrade to the SRU version + 5) reboot + 6) verify that rpcbind is now started reliably. + I have a fully upgraded 11.10 desktop release and installed nfs-common, nfs-kernel-server, and rpcbind which provides portmap. After I boot up, nfs-kernel-server is not running. When I try to start nfs-kernel-server with service nfs-kernel-server-start - I get the error message that portmap is not running. But, with + I get the error message that portmap is not running. But, with service portmap status I get the message that portmap is running. To start nfs-kernel-server, I have to do: service statd start service portmap stop service portmap start service nfs-kernel-server start This may be related to the fact that the script /etc/init/portmap-wait.conf portmap returns "2" on exit which I think confuses the "system ... status" command. Also, in /etc/init/statd.conf there is a reference to a file "portmap-boot.conf" but that file is missing in /etc/init. A temporary workaround may be to put the lines service statd start service portmap stop service portmap start service nfs-kernel-server start into /etc/rc.local Note that I have /, /boot, /var, /tmp, /usr in different partitions. Not sure this makes a difference.
