Description Dan Muntz 2007-05-23 17:59:42 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; (R1 1.5); .NET CLR 2.0.50727)

Description of problem:
The startup script of idmapd checks to see if the sunrpc module is loaded, and fails if it doesn't find the module.  Unfortunately, this test also fails if sunrpc is statically linked into the kernel, preventing idmapd from starting.  This bug is also in FC*.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a kernel with sunrpc linked statically
2. Try to start idmapd with the rc script

Actual Results:
idmapd fails to start, reporting that the sunrpc module is not loaded

Expected Results:
idmapd should have started

Comment 1 Dan Muntz 2007-05-23 18:02:07 UTC

When I submitted this bug, bugzilla came back and said "product name does not 
exist" and told me to go back and try again.  Apparently the bug went in 
anyway, but someone might want to look into this.  I'd submit another report, 
but I can't really tell from this end what I did that might have triggered the 
problem.

Comment 2 Steve Dickson 2007-05-23 20:34:26 UTC

Question: when sunrpc is not a module, who or what
mounts /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs?

Comment 3 Dan Muntz 2007-05-23 21:24:41 UTC

I have it in /etc/fstab (I think CITI has this in some of their documentation).

Comment 4 Steve Dickson 2007-06-07 14:19:49 UTC

hmm... maybe we the initscript can check for the existance
of /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs if it does not exist
then do the modprobes..
