Thanks, Rafael -- I'll put together an environment in which to test the packages (I'd rather not reboot my live NFS servers).
However, I think nfs-mountd.service still needs tweaking. rpc.mountd (if using NFSv2 or v3) needs to communicate with rpcbind on startup to register services. Currently nfs-mountd.service has BindsTo=nfs-server.service but as far as I can tell this does NOT imply an ordering (it's Requires= plus the additional behaviour of stopping when another service stops; I don't think it covers After=). So, I suspect you may also need to add to nfs-mountd.service: After=nfs-server.service -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1590799 Title: nfs-kernel-server does not start because of dependency failure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/1590799/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
