[PATCH] systemd: nfs-server.service add "Wants" dependency on rpc-rquotad.service

[PATCH] systemd: nfs-server.service add "Wants" dependency on rpc-rquotad.service

[Yongcheng Yang]

The RPC quota service was part of nfs-utils and started together
with nfs-server before it was splitting out from nfs-utils.

It would be convenient to preserve the behavior: Let nfs-server
start rpc-rquotad automatically.

Hi,

The rpc-rquotad.service contains "WantedBy=nfs-server.service" but it only
takes effect after "systemctl enable rpc-rquotad":

"A symbolic link is created in the .wants/ directory of each of the listed
units when this unit is installed by systemctl enable"

This is different with the previous behavior when it's not splitted.

Test logs:

I would prefer that whatever package provides rpc-rquotad should take
care of this.
It can provide a "wants" symlink

  .../systemd/system/nfs-server.wants/rpc-rquotad.service -> .../rpc-rquotad.service
