  • nfs-rquotad.service for RHEL7 is currently missing.

    Posted on

    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
