Bug Fixes: The /proc/net/rpc/use-gss-proxy file can not be used as a start up trigger for rpc.svcsgssd since it always exists, with or without gss-proxy installed. Adding the Wants= to the nfs server unit cause a systemd ordering cycle which caused reboots to take forever. Comment One: Even though nfs-client does conditionally start the rpc.gssd service when /etc/krb5.keytab exists (which good), but that's all it does. Meaning 'systemctl status' does not show that rpc.gssd is running and 'systemctl restart' does not restart rpc.gssd and 'systemctl stop' does not stop the daemon. It just seems odd to me that we will be using one target unit to enable a daemon then another service unit (rpc-gssd) to control it. I thinking we should have one service unit, when enabled, control both the rpc.gssd and the rpc.svcgssd daemons. The start up trigger for both daemons will be the existence of /etc/krb5.keytab and rpc.svcgssd will only be started if the nfs server is enabled (if that is possible). Comment Two: How about renaming the nfs-utils unit to nfs-services since a 'systemctl restart' of the unit start all the server and client daemons (even when the server is not enabled, which is probably a bug). Since a 'systemctl restart nfs-utils' starts all the daemons shouldn't 'systemctl stop nfs-utils' bring them all down as well? Another oddity, going a 'systemctl restart nfs-utils' causes v3 mounts to go stale... Meaning going a ls on a v3 mount point after the restart errors out with ESTALE... Not sure why... Comment Three: I'm not seeing how the nfs-utils_env.sh file, called by each unit, is all that useful. The main reason is you can not tell which unit its being called from so how do know what should be done? I guess I'm just missing the concept on how and what it should be used for.
