[Bug 1270445] Re: slow NFS4 without "NEED_GSSD=yes"

[Phil Mayhall]

Am running 16.04 Ubuntu (Mate) and was getting 1.2Mb NFS file transfers
between 2 directly wired pcs. Adding the blacklist line speeded things
up to 102MB/sec so guess this is still an issue.

Title:
  slow NFS4 without "NEED_GSSD=yes"

Status in nfs-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 14.04 NFS4 client has slow access to NFS - share, if standard
  in /etc/default/nfs-common is left as "NEED_GSSD=".

  In syslog message 
  [406568.806179] RPC: AUTH_GSS upcall timed out.  
  [406568.806179] Please check user daemon is running.
  can be found.

  If default is changed to "NEED_GSSD=yes" access speeds up to normal (= good as in 12.04).
  I do not use Kerberos, so to set this option to "yes" does not make sense.
