Following commit 91da135f - it replaced "rpcbind.target" by "rpcbind.socket" in
some unit files - "rpcbind.socket" should also be added to "nfs-mountd.service"
as a dependency to avoid race conditions.

Usually "rpcbind.socket" is either started as a "sockets.target" dependency, or
as a dependency for "nfs-server.service", when unit files include it in
"BindsTo" or "After". Unfortunately there is a possilibility to have
"nfs-mountd.service" started when the rpcbind socket is not yet created:

systemd[1]: Starting NFS Mount Daemon...
systemd[1]: nfs-mountd.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=1
systemd[1]: Failed to start NFS Mount Daemon.
systemd[1]: nfs-mountd.service: Unit entered failed state.
systemd[1]: nfs-mountd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Nowadays "nfs-mountd.service" uses "BindTo" directive to "nfs-server.service".
That, per se, doesn't guarantee ordering for NFS server to start rpcbind and for
nfs-mountd to depend on it.

Thanks for finding this!

I would not be against adding
  Wants=rpcbind.socket

but as you say, it isn't strictly needed.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
