Public bug reported:
I have some user-mountable nfs entries in my /etc/fstab like this:
myserver:/srv/nfs/images /mnt/images nfs
defaults,user,noauto,intr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 0 0
for this to work, statd (from nfs-common) needs to be running, but it is
not started at system startup
The scripts claim that it will be started
According to /etc/init/statd.conf rpc.statd should be started either if
some NFS filesystem will be mounted or if NEED_STATD is not "no"
When a user tries to mount a NFS share, statd will not be started:
u...@ubuntu:~$ mount /mnt/images
mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
u...@ubuntu:~$
And setting NEED_STATD to yes in /etc/default/nfs-common will NOT start
statd on system startup...
I also tried a workaround: Putting "@reboot service start statd" into a system
cronjob which also does NOT work...
However, starting it as root manually works, and nfs mounts are working
afterwards

statd does not start automatically when needed nor can be forced to start on
