Description Pete Travis 2011-12-16 23:37:55 UTC
Description of problem:
the NFS service fails to start unless the rpcbind service is running, but the dependency is not appropriately referenced in  /lib/systemd/system/nfs-server.service

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Name        : nfs-utils
Epoch       : 1
Version     : 1.2.5
Release     : 3.fc16
nfs-utils-1.2.5-3.fc16.src.rpm

Steps to Reproduce:
1.systemctl start nfs-server.service

  
Actual results:
Failed rpc calls, service does not start

Expected results:
systemctl starts rpcbind first, then proceeds to start the nfs service.

Additional info:

adding 'Wants=rpcbind.service' to /lib/systemd/system/nfs-server.service fixes this.

I just rebooted to test - my nfs mounts defined in /etc/fstab are still the slowest units to load...

So the 
   After=syslog.target network.target rpcbind.service
line does not start cause rpcbind to be start before 
the nfs server??

Comment 3 Pete Travis 2011-12-28 02:28:03 UTC
After= does not cause rpcbind to be started with nfs-server.  the Wants= does cause rpcbind to be started with nfs-server.  I've attached the process I used to establish this, and my workaround/solution, hope it helps.

Comment 4 Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2012-01-16 09:02:29 UTC
Note that there is a new set of unit files in bug 769879 that you can take for a spin and test. 

Just follow what's mentioned in comment 2 

The nfs.target in that set of units already requires rpcbinds.service
