Package: cifs-utils Version: 2:4.5-2+squeeze1 Severity: important Hi,
>From mount(8), under "FILESYSTEM INDEPENDENT MOUNT OPTIONS" there is a mount option "_netdev" which is meant to require the network to be up before attempting to mount. Full description is below. When the system is booted, I get the following in my error log: Dec 10 09:42:03 fir kernel: [ 21.068520] CIFS: Unknown mount option _netdev Dec 10 09:42:03 fir kernel: [ 21.116416] CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation Dec 10 09:42:03 fir kernel: [ 21.116423] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -111 Dec 10 09:42:03 fir kernel: [ 21.116459] CIFS: Unknown mount option _netdev The filesystem is not mounted. Once I get a shell, I can `mount -a` and the mount comes up correctly. This has worked on mount.nfs, but not on mount.cifs. A bit of googling found the following bug report in redhat that has been resolved. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=607309 I also found the following from the debian-users mailing list which didn't help. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user/391641 Cheers, Hugh >From mount(8): _netdev The filesystem resides on a device that requires network access (used to prevent the system from attempting to mount these filesystems until the network has been enabled on the system). -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cifs-utils depends on: ii libc6 2.11.3-4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libkeyutils1 1.4-1 Linux Key Management Utilities (li ii libkrb5-3 1.8.3+dfsg-4squeeze6 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libtalloc2 2.0.1-1 hierarchical pool based memory all ii samba-common 2:3.5.6~dfsg-3squeeze8 common files used by both the Samb cifs-utils recommends no packages.
