Public bug reported:
When a space+option is left without quotes in NEED_IDMAPD it leaves nfs
to an inconsistent state upon start.
Steps to reproduce
1. in /etc/default/nfs-common change NEED_IDMAPD= to
NEED_IDMAPD= yes
2. stop idmapd, start idmapd
This is probably caused by /etc/init/idmapd that runs the following code.
env DEFAULTFILE=/etc/default/nfs-common
if [ -f "$DEFAULTFILE" ]; then
. "$DEFAULTFILE"
fi
In this case NEED_IDMAPD is empty which causes issues when starting the
service.
PS: in my tests since /etc/init/idmapd.conf tries to source the variable
NEED_IDMAPD= yes ( without quotes ), it also starts the following linux
util /usr/bin/yes :-P
I know having spaces in variable assignment must not happen without
quotes though we should find a way of enforcing or sanitize variables.
