Thanks Alexander! I've investigated your patches and find them very interesting, clearly based on the same model of portmap/portmap-wait.
Still, I was looking for the less intrusive possible modification in the time being (while this bug is being investigated thoughtfully, I hope, by Canonical and/or the community) so I just added this line at the end of idmapd's pre-start script: if ! mountpoint -q /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs ; then do_modprobe sunrpc ; mount -t rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs || true ; fi I know this is not the correct way to do it, but it's enough in my case to ensure idmapd will always start/restart/stop correctly, without needing to touch any other file than /etc/init/idmapd.conf. I think your way is a really good one and I hope it will soon be officially integrated through a standard LTS update.
