Following commit 91da135f - it replaced "rpcbind.target" by "rpcbind.socket" in some unit files - "rpcbind.socket" should also be added to "nfs-mountd.service" as a dependency to avoid race conditions. Usually "rpcbind.socket" is either started as a "sockets.target" dependency, or as a dependency for "nfs-server.service", when unit files include it in "BindsTo" or "After". Unfortunately there is a possilibility to have "nfs-mountd.service" started when the rpcbind socket is not yet created: systemd[1]: Starting NFS Mount Daemon... systemd[1]: nfs-mountd.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=1 systemd[1]: Failed to start NFS Mount Daemon. systemd[1]: nfs-mountd.service: Unit entered failed state. systemd[1]: nfs-mountd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Nowadays "nfs-mountd.service" uses "BindTo" directive to "nfs-server.service". That, per se, doesn't guarantee ordering for NFS server to start rpcbind and for nfs-mountd to depend on it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1590799 Signed-off-by: Rafael David Tinoco <rafael.tinoco@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- systemd/nfs-mountd.service | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/systemd/nfs-mountd.service b/systemd/nfs-mountd.service index 15e828b..b0a8bc0 100644 --- a/systemd/nfs-mountd.service +++ b/systemd/nfs-mountd.service @@ -4,6 +4,7 @@ DefaultDependencies=no Requires=proc-fs-nfsd.mount After=proc-fs-nfsd.mount After=network.target local-fs.target +After=rpcbind.socket BindsTo=nfs-server.service [Service] -- 2.9.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
