Public bug reported: The tl;dr: version:
An RPCNFSARGS variable needs to be added to /etc/default/nfs-kernel- server file in order to facilitate turning off NFSv3, so that the rpcbind dependency goes away. Otherwise the user is forced to snoop through all the related systemd service files (as I did) in order to figure out how to turn off NFSv3. Meanwhile, this does appear in /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server, but doesn't seem to be used anywhere in the systemd service file chain for nfsd: # Runtime priority of server (see nice(1)) RPCNFSDPRIORITY=0 I'll just repost what I wrote to the NFS developers list about this: The service file for the nfs server, /usr/lib/systemd/system/nfs- config.service includes this: Wants=nfs-config.service After=nfs-config.service All nfs-config does is run this script: ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/nfs-utils_env.sh and the script reads the /etc/default/nfs* files and then echo RPCNFSDARGS=\"$RPCNFSDOPTS ${RPCNFSDCOUNT:-8}\" which then goes on the command line in the nfs-server service file: ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd $RPCNFSDARGS So the solution is to add this line to /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server: RPCNFSDOPTS="-N 2 -N 3" Still unaccounted for is this variable in /etc/default/nfs-kernel- server: # Runtime priority of server (see nice(1)) RPCNFSDPRIORITY=0 Which I can't find used anywhere in the service files.
