Steve, I'm looking at your change to gssd.conf and idmapd.conf, and it
looks like you've got a race condition. You add the following to the
pre-start script of both:
if ! mountpoint -q "$PIPEFS_MOUNTPOINT"
then
mount -t rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs "$PIPEFS_MOUNTPOINT"
fi
The problem is that the filesystem could get mounted between when you
check with mountpoint and when you call mount. And because mount is the
last command in the pre-start script, if it fails then the pre-start
will fail, preventing the job from starting. I haven't actually seen
this issue, but since two jobs are running this same code around the
same time, it definitely seems like a possibility.
Probably a simple "|| true" on the mount command would be sufficient.
If the mountpoint isn't actually there when rpc.gssd or rpc.idmapd
starts, that process will exit and upstart will retry.
