on cl version 7160 I'm getting # systemctl restart rpc-statd Job for rpc-statd.service failed because a timeout was exceeded. See "systemctl status rpc-statd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. Service part of /lib/systemd/system/rpc-statd.service is [Service] EnvironmentFile=-/run/sysconfig/nfs-utils Type=forking PIDFile=/var/run/rpc.statd.pid ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rpc.statd --no-notify -F $STATDARGS Looks like systemd is told the service will fork but the rpc.statd is told to not fork. Removing the -F solves the problem.
