Message-ID<vhVkZ-7Rj-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
Package: nfs-kernel-server
Version: 1:1.3.4-2.1+b1
Severity: normal

I have recently changed my NFS setup so that one of the intermediate paths for the
exported filesystem is a symlink. With this setup, trying to start the system with

    systemctl start nfs-server

fails, with `systemctl status nfs-server` reporting:

● nfs-server.service - NFS server and services

Feb 10 19:06:15 labrador systemd[1]: Stopped NFS server and services.

journalctl -u nfs-server-.service -b has exactly those lines too.

Running all the appropriate daemons manually, including the sequence exportfs -f, exportfs -au, exportfs -r works correctly,
with the final export being /<path>/<actual directory pointed to by symlink>/<target> as expected.

#60371 — Bug#890099: Th symlink seems to be invisible to all services

FromGiuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>

Message-ID<vnyvn-3NZ-7@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#60185
With some further testing, it would seem that the issue of not being
able to find/access anything under that path with the intermediate
symlink affects all services,not just nfs. I'm seeing it with
git-daemon-run (which runs via runit), as well as with apache (the
gitweb site is unable to follow those symlinks). I'm completely
stymied at what the cause might be. Is systemd somehow passing a
different view of mounted filesystems to its children?
