Is there anywhere documentation outlining the decision to remove a separate nfs-idmap.service from F17? It seems that nfs-server.service must be enabled and started in order for rpc.idmapd. It doesn't seem logical that a system running a NFS Client Only should be required to also run an NFS server.
The changelog message reads:
"Removed the nfs-idmap service. rpc.idmap is now part of the nfs-server service"
Steve, can you elaborate? Do pure clients never need idmap?
Sure they do, if they want uid/gid mapped properly.....
Here is the output from an F16 system showing the effect....
First I mount with no rpc.idmap service running....
[root@f16-1 ~]# mount -t nfs4 192.168.0.55:/syntegra /syntegra [root@f16-1 ~]# ll /syntegra/ total 40 drwxrwxr-x. 3 4294967294 4294967294 4096 Mar 24 2010 HP-Pavilion drwxr-xr-x. 9 4294967294 4294967294 4096 Nov 30 10:21 iso drwxrwxr-x. 7 4294967294 4294967294 4096 Nov 30 10:34 linux-releases drwx------. 2 4294967294 4294967294 16384 Apr 1 2007 lost+found
And...then....
[root@f16-1 ~]# umount /syntegra [root@f16-1 ~]# systemctl start nfs-idmap.service [root@f16-1 ~]# mount -t nfs4 192.168.0.55:/syntegra /syntegra [root@f16-1 ~]# ll /syntegra/ total 40 drwxrwxr-x. 3 egreshko egreshko 4096 Mar 24 2010 HP-Pavilion drwxr-xr-x. 9 egreshko egreshko 4096 Nov 30 10:21 iso drwxrwxr-x. 7 egreshko egreshko 4096 Nov 30 10:34 linux-releases drwx------. 2 root root 16384 Apr 1 2007 lost+found
Notice the difference?
