Sorry, cancel this. Seems my /etc/sysconfig/nfs wasn't the default
one; it was from an earlier fedora release which had RPCNFSDCOUNT commented.
The fc16 one doesn't have it commented, so there is no issue per se,
but perhaps the systemd config change I suggested should be done
as it allows for this case.
Also systemd probably should eliminate null args, or is that
an intentional feature of {} with it?

Unfortunately this have been a very common occurrence. In the 1.2.5-5 version I bumped up the default from one to eight nfsd processes, which should take care of this problem. > > The fc16 one doesn't have it commented, so there is no issue per se, > but perhaps the systemd config change I suggested should be done > as it allows for this case. > > Also systemd probably should eliminate null args, or is that > an intentional feature of {} with it? I have no idea... Sorry for the pain... |
Description of problem: NFS server doesn't start as expected on FC16. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nfs-utils-1.2.5-5.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. systemctl enable nfs.service systemctl start nfs.service 2. ps -ef|grep nfsd ... note isn't running netstat -an |grep 2049 ... note nothing listening rpcinfo -p |grep nfs ... note 'nfs' isn't registered 3. Actual results: mountd etc are running, but no nfsd. Expected results: nfsd running Additional info: The default /etc/sysconfig/nfs has RPCNFSDCOUNT commented out, and /lib/systemd/system/nfs-server.service has this in it: ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd $RPCNFSDARGS ${RPCNFSDCOUNT} which causes systemd to pass a NULL arg to rpc.nfsd by default, which causes rpc.nfsd to silently exit without logging anything. Probably due to invalid arg detection. By default, strace -e execve -f -p 1 & shows this: [pid 8958] execve("/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd", ["/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd", ""], [/* 6 vars */]) = 0 Note the bogus "" arg. Modifing the systemd file to have this: ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd $RPCNFSDARGS $RPCNFSDCOUNT fixes the problem. Modifying /etc/sysconfig/nfs and uncommenting RPCNFSDCOUNT line also fixes the problem. Workaround: uncomment RPCNFSDCOUNT in /etc/sysconfig/nfs Suggested fix... modify the ExecStart line and remove the {}; I've tested this works with or without RPCNFSDCOUNT being commented in /etc/sysconfig/nfs.
