The fix for LIN6-10061 - is incomplete.
We need to reflect the changes of LIN6-10061 to actually be used in other files of nfs-utils.
in /etc/init.d/nfscommon we do :
test -n "$NFS_STATEDIR" || NFS_STATEDIR=/var/lib/nfs
[...]
create_directories(){
echo -n 'creating NFS state directory: '
mkdir -p "$NFS_STATEDIR"
( cd "$NFS_STATEDIR"
umask 077
mkdir -p rpc_pipefs
mkdir -p sm sm.bak statd
sm and sm.bak should be in the statd folder.
