[Bug 1557015] Re: idmapd not started by systemd on nfs clients (xenial beta1)

[Steve Langasek]

This is entirely by design. Per upstream, idmapd is not needed on
current systems; it is superseded by the kernel upcall interface,
configured via /etc/request-key.d/id_resolver.conf to use
/usr/sbin/nfsidmap.  Please explain why you believe this is not working.

Title:
  idmapd not started by systemd on nfs clients (xenial beta1)

Status in nfs-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  rpc.idmapd is not started on clients, but it should, especially if
  explicitly enabled in /etc/default/nfs-common. The corresponding
  systemd service appears as masked and its file
  (/lib/systemd/system/idmapd.service) is linked to /dev/null.

  This is a regression from the previous LTS version 14.04 and prevents
  NFSv4 users from upgrading.
