RPCNFSDCOUNT mishandled, NFS mount failed
Last modified: 2012-11-29 01:39:00 EST
Description of problem: After the online fedora update, NFS server silently stopped to work. After lots of investigation I've found out that RPCNFSDCOUNT of /etc/sysconfig/nfs is mishandled. If it is commented out, the NFS server will fail to work. It appeared to be commented out because I ended up with nfs.rpmnew where it was not commented. The bug seems to be in /lib/systemd/system/nfs-server.service and the following change seems to fix the problem: --- --- nfs-server.service.old 2012-06-22 21:36:20.000000000 +0400 +++ nfs-server.service 2012-10-25 20:06:43.888744824 +0400 @@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/nfs ExecStartPre=/usr/lib/nfs-utils/scripts/nfs-server.preconfig ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/exportfs -r -ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd $RPCNFSDARGS ${RPCNFSDCOUNT} +ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd $RPCNFSDARGS $RPCNFSDCOUNT ExecStartPost=-/usr/lib/nfs-utils/scripts/nfs-server.postconfig ExecStop=/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd 0 ExecStopPost=/usr/sbin/exportfs -f --- Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nfs-utils-1.2.6-3.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Easily Steps to Reproduce: 1. Comment out RPCNFSDCOUNT in /etc/sysconfig/nfs 2. restart nfs.service 3. try to mount nfs Actual results: mount locks up forever, silently Expected results: mount should succeed Additional info:
Additionally, I'd say that it is very bad that no failure is reported, anywhere. systemctl status nfs.service says nothing bad.
