Keberized NFS home directory fails to mount and rpc-gssd.service has status failed
Issue
When logging on to our server this morning, we noticed that logons were unacceptably slow. After a long time, a prompt appears, followed by a message:
Could not chdir to home directory /home/<user>: No such file or directory
Upon inspection, rpc-gssd.service has status failed. When we start this service, everything works again.
