RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Scott Poore 2019-02-13 17:38:33 UTC 
Description of problem:

When running ipa-client-automount, I see failures.  In debug mode I see this:

Backing up system configuration file '/etc/sysconfig/nfs'
-> Not backing up - '/etc/sysconfig/nfs' doesn't exist
Raised exception [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/sysconfig/nfs'
Loading StateFile from '/var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore/sysrestore.state'
Loading StateFile from '/var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore/sysrestore.state'
IPA server: host-8-252-16.testrelm.test
Location: nis
Installation failed. Rolling back changes.
IPA automount is not configured on this system

If I touch /etc/sysconfig/nfs beforehand, it works.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-client-4.7.1-7.module+el8+2554+7a4ca32b.x86_64
nfs-utils-2.3.3-13.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always. At least in some test environments.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Setup IPA server and some automount map entries
2.  ipa-client-automount --debug --server=$SERVER --location=$LOCATION -U

Actual results:
Fails

Expected results:
Works and sets up client properly.

FYI, I think this is related to the fix in bug #1673685
Comment 2 François Cami 2019-02-18 13:54:31 UTC 
We should backup /etc/nfs.conf instead if I remember correctly.

nfs-utils-2.3.3-5.rc2.fc30 ( https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1208012 ) introduced that change for Fedora:

* Mon Feb 11 2019 Steve Dickson <steved> 2.3.3-5.rc2
 - Do not install /etc/sysconfig/nfs (bz 1668836)
 - Change nfsconvert.sh not to set the immutable bit (bz 1668836)
 - Change nfsconvert.py not to create the new dummy /etc/sysconfig/nfs (bz 1668836)
