I have seen some talk about this but have not seen any answers. I know
this is a problem on CentOS 7.1 and I also think it is a problem on
CentOS 7.0.
Basically if I have an NFS client only config - meaning that the
nfs-server.service is not enabled then I have to wait 60 seconds after
boot for the 1st NFSV3 mount to succeed.
What I can surmise is the following. I attempt to perform a NFS mount a
newly booted machine and systemd via listening sockets
(1) starts rpc.statd (fails)
(2) starts rpcbind
(3) rpc.statd timesout after 60 seconds and then starts sucessfully
(3) performs the nfs mount
I see that rpc.statd is attempted to start at the time that I perform
the mount request - it just takes 60 seconds to start. I think this is
because it tries to start before rpcbind is really stated and then waits
a full 60 seconds before retying. It then succeeds because rpcbind is
really started
I can fix the delay by running 'systemctl start rpcbind' after I reboot
which causes rpcbind to start and not just be socket activated.
I see in the systemd manifest for rpc-statd that it does require rpcbind
but I think systemd is trying to start rpc.statd before rpcbind which
makes sense that this would not work.
If I enable nfs-server.service then rpcbind does really get started but
I loathe to start this on all clients
Anyone have any ideas how to get rpcbind started before rpc.statd in a
NFS client only config
