Public bug reported:
When I installed this 15.10 system (clean install), I selected that I
wanted to install an NFS server, so it should have had all of the
packages installed, and it should have been a simple matter of editing
/etc/exports and restarting the service, but not only was nfs-kernel-
server NOT installed, but after installing, I can't get it to start.
First, I get this:
# service nfs-kernel-server restart
A dependency job for nfs-server.service failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for
details.
So I do 'journalctl -xe', and I see stuff about missing dependencies.
Initially, I got errors about "nfsd" being an unknown filesystem, and
Googling that didn't get me terribly far. Here's the meat of what I
see:
Oct 26 10:48:17 thing1 systemd[1]: nfs-idmapd.service: Job
nfs-idmapd.service/start failed with result 'dependency'.
Oct 26 10:48:17 thing1 systemd[1]: run-rpc_pipefs.mount: Unit entered failed
state.
Oct 26 10:48:17 thing1 mount[1587]: mount: unknown filesystem type 'nfsd'
Oct 26 10:48:17 thing1 systemd[1]: proc-fs-nfsd.mount: Mount process exited,
code=exited status=32
Oct 26 10:48:17 thing1 systemd[1]: Failed to mount NFSD configuration
filesystem.
I did an apt-get update and upgrade, and then I got an error about nfs-
common having an error while being configured, so I tried to configure
it with "sudo dpkg --configure -a", and I get errors about both nfs-
common and nfs-kernel-server not being configured. Configuring nfs-
common again, I'm told once again to look at 'journalctl -xe', and the
main errors I see are all about unmet dependencies and this one:
Oct 26 10:38:32 thing1 mount[5635]: mount: unknown filesystem type 'rpc_pipefs'
Oct 26 10:38:32 thing1 systemd[1]: run-rpc_pipefs.mount: Mount process exited,
code=exited status=32
Oct 26 10:38:32 thing1 systemd[1]: Failed to mount RPC Pipe File System.
Googling this, someone suggested a reboot, so I did that, but all that
happened was that the "nfsd" error game back.
Note that in no instructions I've seen is mentioned to do anything with
"nfsd", nor do I know of any place that it is specified. It appears
that 15.10 nfs support is pretty badly broken. I would mark this bug as
CRITICAL since it's taken me out of commission completely.
