Settings in /etc/default/nfs-common & nfs-kernel-server need to be moved to /run/sysconfig/nfs-utils on Ubuntu 16.04

[fozboz]

Package: nfs-kernel-server
Version: 1:1.2.8-9ubuntu12.1
Ubuntu 16.04

This version of NFS uses /run/sysconfig/nfs-utils for its runtime settings.

There is a script at /usr/lib/systemd/scripts/nfs-utils_env.sh which populates /run/sysconfig/nfs-utils with settings in /etc/default/nfs-* . This script needs to be notified whenever the /etc/default/nfs-* settings change.

At present, a reboot is necessary before an NFS server starts correctly on 16.04 using this cookbook.

I've added:

if node['platform'] == 'ubuntu' && node['platform_version'] == '16.04'
execute 'update NFS settings' do
command '/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/nfs-utils_env.sh'
action :nothing
subscribes :run, 'service[nfs-kernel-server]', :before
end
end

which seems to have fixed the problem.
