Bug#850464: nfs-blkmap.service fails to start at boot
package: nfs-kernel-server
version: 1:1.3.4-2
severity: serious
The blkmapd process looks for /run/rpc_pipefs/nfs/blocklayout
It fails to find it and the system boot doesn't complete, it asks for an
emergency login on the text console.
I don't see anything under /run/rpc_pipefs/nfs
Other NFS services appear to be running fine.
The ArchLinux NFS wiki recommends masking the blkmapd service:
systemctl mask nfs-blkmap.service
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NFS
Perhaps blkmapd could be split into a separate package so it is only
installed for people who want it.
blkmapd[278]: open pipe file /run/rpc_pipefs/nfs/blocklayout failed: No
such file or directory
blkmapd[278]: exit on signal(15)
systemd[1]: Failed to start pNFS block layout mapping daemon.
