When starting NFS on my freshly network-installed Fedora 16, I get the following error message from systemd: # systemctl start nfs.service Failed to issue method call: Unit nfs.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status nfs.service' for details. Well, the "details" are: # systemctl status nfs.service nfs.service Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory) Active: inactive (dead) There's nothing in the system logs either.
Right, filed this bug report too soon. The message: "Failed to issue method call: Unit nfs.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status nfs.service' for details" seems to be systemd's way of telling that a service does not exist (there are better ways, I presume). So there is no nfs.service. In Fedora 16 it is called nfs-server.service. # systemctl start nfs-server.service did start nfs.
