Hmm... in the rpcbind spec file there is the following trigger

%triggerun -- rpcbind > 0.2.2-2.0
/bin/systemctl enable rpcbind.socket

and when the package is initial installed the following happens:
%post
if [ $1 -eq 1 ] ; then
    # Initial installation
    /bin/systemctl enable rpcbind.socket
fi

I wonder why that workaround is needed...

I get the same error message when trying an NFS mount from the command line. System: clean install F22 KDE spin from Live DVD, then updated.

nfs-util version 1.3.2-7.fc22

I tried the rpcbind workaround above and got an intersting looking message, but no joy (not right away, I'll try a restart).

Commands and output:

OK, on a reboot I now get an NFS mount and no error message.

The status is now :

We got hit by this bug as well: The autofs service has errors as described above and we can't mount any of our NFSv3 servers.  The workaround solved our problems:
systemctl enable rpcbind.socket
systemctl restart rpcbind.service
I hope this bug gets fixed ASAP.

Did you do an upgrade to f22 or a clean install?

That's a clean install of FC22.

Ok... then I wonder why this %post script didn't work
%post
if [ $1 -eq 1 ] ; then
    # Initial installation
    /bin/systemctl enable rpcbind.socket
fi

At least the bug seems to be reproducible by several sites.  It seems inevitable that $1 is not equal to 1 (whatever that means).

This problem exists in Fedora 21 as well.  I just finished a clean install including nfs-utils and couldn't get NFS mounts to work until I did

Hi all,

Just to bring some further attention to this. Updating some CentOS 7 systems today I came across the same problem. Same fix applies. For some reason the rpcbind.socket service is disabled and stopped after install...

Further info:

CentOS 7.1.1503

Updated to 

CentOS 7.2.1511.

Cheers,

Morgan
