    Any ideas?
    This is not an rpcbind problem - the other machine (nmap) shows that
    port 111 isopen for rpcbind.
    It's a new form of dependency hell.
    systemctl start nfs-server gives:
    nfs-server.service: Found ordering cycle on mnt-raid.mount/start nfs-server.service: Found dependency on nfs-server.service/start nfs-server.service: Unable to break cycle starting with nfs-server.service/start
    Requested transaction contains an unfixable cyclic ordering dependency: Transaction order is cyclic.

    Since I haven't done anything affecting systemd services, it look looks
    like a bug. Surely this must have been seen before?

    Not sure how, but there is no longer a problem. I used systemd to mount
    my raid array, after which I could start nfs-server and normal service
    has been resumed.
