http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=990356 Bug ID: 990356 Summary: Cannot start NFSv4 only server without RPC Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: trcs@gmx.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Hi. I want to setup a NFSv4 only server without RPC. I have followed the steps from the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP1 Release Notes¹: 1) set NFS3_SERVER_SUPPORT=no in /etc/sysconfig/nfs 2) systemctl disable rpcbind.socket However, rpcbind, rpc.mountd, rpc.statd, rpcbind and rpc.idmapd are started, so both 1) and 2) has no effect. rpciod is also running but I don't know if it is related to NFS or not. I have done some tests enabling and disabling rpcbind.socket and rpcbind.service with the following results: socket service result ------------------------------------------ disabled disabled no difference masked disabled system doesn't boot² disabled masked system doesn't boot² masked masked system doesn't boot² I have also removed the references to rpcbind.socket in nfs-server.service but nothing changed. And if I remove all the rpc-xxx.yyy references in that file the system won't boot. When the system can't boot there are the following start up messages: [ OK ] Started NFS Mount Daemon [Failed] Failed to start NFS status monitor for NFSv2/3 locking.. See 'systemctl status rpc-statd.service' for details³ Starting NFS server and services... ... [ **** ] A start job is running for NFS server and services (xxx / no limit) [1] 3.1.4.5 NFSv4 only configuration [2] A start job is running for NFS server and services (xxx / no limit) [3] I cannot run the command because all the VTs are blocked (no login prompt) by the message described in [2] -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
