The RPC quota service was part of nfs-utils and started together with nfs-server before it was splitting out from nfs-utils. It would be convenient to preserve the behavior: Let nfs-server start rpc-rquotad automatically. Signed-off-by: Petr Pisar <ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Yongcheng Yang <yoyang@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi, The rpc-rquotad.service contains "WantedBy=nfs-server.service" but it only takes effect after "systemctl enable rpc-rquotad": "A symbolic link is created in the .wants/ directory of each of the listed units when this unit is installed by systemctl enable" This is different with the previous behavior when it's not splitted.
