Bug#1022823: nfs-kernel-server: /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server needs RPCNFSDOPTS
Package: nfs-kernel-server
Version: 1:1.3.4-6
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
I needed a way to have rpc.nfsd bind to a specific IP address.
The man page for rpc.nfsd documents a parameter exactly for this, plus some others.
At first signt, it seems that there is no Debian way to pass parameters to rpc.nfsd.
But there is; RPCNFSDOPTS can be set on /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server. It will then
be sourced from /usr/lib/systemd/scripts/nfs-utils_env.sh, which sends its variables
to /run/sysconfig/nfs-utils, from where they are read by nfs-server.service.
Setting RPCNFSDOPTS solves this issue, so I am suggesting that it be added (empty)
to /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server, along with a commentary pointing to the rpc.nfsd
man page for information on parameters.
