We suddenly had a "nobody" issue on NFSv4 mounts on SLES 12.5 machines.
The:
systemctl unmask nfs-idmapd.service
systemctl enable nfs-idmapd.service
systemctl restart nfs-idmapd.service
nfsidmap -c
solved it (+a correct /etc/idmapd.conf), but after a rebooot, we again have to start the idmapd service.
The question: How can we make the idmapd automatically start at boot?
UPDATE:
SERVER:~ # systemctl list-unit-files --type=service nfs-idmapd.service
UNIT FILE STATE
nfs-idmapd.service static
From https://www.linux.com/training-tutorials/understanding-and-using-systemd/ I can see if a SystemD service is "static" that means it wont start at boot alone, maybe it has some dependency that starts it?
