Description: nfs-server fails to start
Additional info:
Similar problems noted last year here:
https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2014-June/036617.html
Today after reboot nfs-server was not running:
2 units fail to start
rpc-statd.service
nfs-server.service.
-------------------------------------
rpc-statd:
systemctl status rpc-statd
rpc.statd[736]: Version 1.3.2 starting
rpc.statd[736]: Flags: TI-RPC
rpc.statd[736]: Running as root. chown /var/lib/nfs to choose different user
rpc.statd[736]: failed to create RPC listeners, exiting

systemd[1]: Failed to start NFS status monitor for NFSv2/3 locking..
systemd[1]: Unit rpc-statd.service entered failed state.
systemd[1]: rpc-statd.service failed.
-------------------------------------
I am unable to start this by hand either - continues to fail same way. I had seen this once a month or so back - but was able to start it by hand after machine was up.

-------------------------------------
Machine is fully updated from testing repo. I did try kernel 3.19.rc6 but it does not help.
Going over the bug from June 2014 I tried these:
systemctl restart proc-fs-nfsd.mount
systemctl restart rpcbind
systemctl restart nfs-mountd.service
systemctl restart rpc-statd.service
systemctl restart nfs-idmapd.service
systemctl restart rpc-svcgssd.service
systemctl restart rpc-statd-notify.service
systemctl restart nfs-mountd
systemctl restart rpc-gssd.service rpc-svcgssd.service
rpc-statd still does not start but now .. it failes with
rpc-statd.service start operation timed out. Terminating.
Trying to start nfs-server - it too 'times out'
After 5 mins i tried again: systemctl start nfs-server
which now starts ... rpc-statd is still not running.
And the server is once again serving NFS.
* package version(s)
nfs-utils 1.3.2-1
linux 3.18.5-1
rpcbind 0.2.2-1
* config and/or log files etc.
