nfs-rquotad.service for RHEL7 is currently missing.

Latest response

Today's puzzlement is trying to figure out where nfs-rquotad.service went for RHEL7? I found this closed bz:

Bug 1164057

which contains this quote: "unfortunately, while the systemd entry for rquotad has been removed from nfs-utils, it has not yet been added to the quota package.
So if you upgrade nfs-utils, you lose rquotad."

Yikes! Indeed.

$ yum whatprovides nfs-rquotad
1:nfs-utils-1.3.0-0.el7.x86_64 : NFS utilities and supporting clients and
: daemons for the kernel NFS server
Repo : rhel-x86_64-server-7
Matched from:
Filename : /usr/lib/systemd/system/nfs-rquotad.service

$ rpm -q nfs-utils
nfs-utils-1.3.0-0.8.el7.x86_64

So it was removed in the latest nfs-utils, but the quota package does not have it!

$ rpm -ql quota | grep systemd
$

Oye: Bug 1207239

Come on Red Hat, this is crazy!
