Package: initscripts Version: 2.87dsf-10 Severity: normal It appears that NFS mounts are not working at bootup anymore. Not sure since what time.
Here's a typical boot log with ASYNCMOUNTNFS is not set: Setting up networking.... Configuring network interfaces...if-up.d/mountnfs[br0]: waiting for interface tap-kvm before doing NFS mounts (warning). if-up.d/mountnfs[br0]: waiting for interface tap-kvm0 before doing NFS mounts (warning). if-up.d/mountnfs[br0]: waiting for interface tap-kvm1 before doing NFS mounts (warning). if-up.d/mountnfs[br0]: waiting for interface eth0 before doing NFS mounts (warning). if-up.d/mountnfs[tap-kvm]: waiting for interface tap-kvm0 before doing NFS mounts (warning). if-up.d/mountnfs[tap-kvm]: waiting for interface tap-kvm1 before doing NFS mounts (warning). if-up.d/mountnfs[tap-kvm]: waiting for interface eth0 before doing NFS mounts (warning). if-up.d/mountnfs[tap-kvm0]: waiting for interface tap-kvm1 before doing NFS mounts (warning). if-up.d/mountnfs[tap-kvm0]: waiting for interface eth0 before doing NFS mounts (warning). if-up.d/mountnfs[tap-kvm1]: waiting for interface eth0 before doing NFS mounts (warning). Starting portmap daemon.... Starting NFS common utilities: statd idmapd. mount.nfs4: No route to host done. Note the pre-last line: I think it's the problematic one. And here's the fstab entry: gnome:/ /net/gnome nfs4 bg,nodev,nosuid 0 0 When ASYNCMOUNTNFS is set to no in rcS, the same happens: Setting up networking.... Configuring network interfaces...done. Starting portmap daemon.... Starting NFS common utilities: statd idmapd. Starting portmap daemon...Already running.. Starting NFS common utilities: statd idmapd. mount.nfs4: No route to host Cleaning up temporary files.... except that the boot process is now much more clean, without the annoying warnings. I can only guess that when the mount is performed, the interface is not initialized yet, and is not ready to use. But on the other hand, it looks like the network is up'n'running at this time, since the 'Configuring network interfaces' stage has been completed. The /etc/network/interfaces here has nothing fancy. The main interface is a bridge, which should be up-n-running immediately, even if physical ifaces are not yet ready: auto br0 iface br0 inet static address 192.168.88.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.88.4 bridge-ports all bridge-maxwait 0 -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (60, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.33-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages initscripts depends on: ii coreutils 7.4-2 The GNU core utilities ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii mount 2.16.2-0 Tools for mounting and manipulatin ii sysv-rc 2.86.ds1-61 System-V-like runlevel change mech ii sysvinit-utils 2.87dsf-10 System-V-like utilities Versions of packages initscripts recommends: ii e2fsprogs 1.41.10-1 ext2/ext3/ext4 file system utiliti ii psmisc 22.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy initscripts suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
