Description r3obh 2012-10-14 18:04:28 UTC

* Description of problem:
Starting nfs-server.service (from nfs-utils RPM) tries to start nfs-rquotad.service (also from nfs-utils RPM) by running /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad (from quota RPM). But the nfs-utils RPM does not have a dependance on the quota RPM, which it presumably should to avoid a lot of digging when NFS mysteriously won't start because quota is not installed.

* Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nfs-utils-1.2.6-3.fc17.x86_64
quota-4.00-5.fc17.x86_64

* How reproducible:
Always

* Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum remove quota
2. yum install nfs-utils
3. systemctl restart nfs-server.service
4. systemctl -a | grep nfs-
5. tail -2 /var/log/messages

* Actual results:
[root@localhost tmp]# systemctl restart nfs-server.service
[root@localhost tmp]# systemctl -a | grep nfs-
nfs-idmap.service loaded active running NFSv4 ID-name mapping daemon
nfs-lock.service loaded active running NFS file locking service.
nfs-mountd.service loaded active running NFS Mount Daemon
nfs-rquotad.service loaded inactive dead NFS Remote Quota Server
nfs-server.service loaded active exited NFS Server
[root@localhost tmp]# tail -2 /var/log/messages
Oct 14 14:01:20 localhost systemd[11665]: Failed at step EXEC spawning /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad: No such file or directory
Oct 14 14:01:20 localhost rpc.mountd[11667]: Version 1.2.6 starting

* Expected results:
# systemctl restart nfs-server.service
[root@localhost tmp]# systemctl -a | grep nfs-
nfs-idmap.service loaded active running NFSv4 ID-name mapping daemon
nfs-lock.service loaded active running NFS file locking service.
nfs-mountd.service loaded active running NFS Mount Daemon
nfs-rquotad.service loaded active running NFS Remote Quota Server
nfs-server.service loaded active exited NFS Server

* Additional info:
I'll be amazed if anybody does anything about this other than saying it's NOTABUG as usual. Enjoy.

Comment 1 Petr Pisar 2012-10-17 09:16:40 UTC

I don't like this solution. Wouldn't be better to move nfs-rquotad.service to quota package and drop the dependency?

Comment 2 Jeff Layton 2012-10-17 10:21:32 UTC

Yes, I agree with Petr here. If that package is shipping the binary then it should be shipping the systemd file for it too. What if someone (pathologically) wants to just run rquotad and nothing else? You can't do it now without having nfs-utils installed...

Steve would probably need to also change the nfs-server.service file not to Require=nfs-rquotad.service since that will fail if quota isn't installed.
Instead, maybe change the nfs-rquotad.service to have a RequiredBy=nfs-server.service directive?

I see your point.. but there would still need to be some dependency since the nfs-rquotad.service has to be started when the nfs server is started...

In the future, you would like to send me some patches that remove the nfs-rquotad.service from nfs-utils and add it to quota as well as figure out the 
synchronisation of starting both services, I'll add them... but for this particular bz I think easiest solution is to simply add quote to the Requires: line like I have...
