It looks to me that the Cache-Expiration knob is just broken. When the knob is set rpc.idmapd tries to open a file /proc/sys/fs/nfs/idmap_cache_timeout That will only exist when the client does a mount, meaning the file will never exist when server starts. Anybody have clue as to why this knob exists? The point being, Please leave the knob where it is (reading from idmapd.conf) because I don't think we want to port broken knobs into nfs.conf. steved.
