[Bug 384347] Re: _netdev not working
This bug was originally filed quite a while ago (against the wrong package) and was reported about a problem mounting a cifs filesystem. _netdev is a red herring; mountall knows that cifs (as well as nfs) is a network filesystem, and handles it without any use of _netdev. So if there are problems with these kinds of mounts, they are unrelated to _netdev and indicate a problem with the filesystem mounting itself. There have been other reports over the past 5 years of problems with each of these filesystem types, but I believe the issues are resolved as of 12.04. If you are still having problems with cifs mounts at boot in 12.04 (or trusty), please let us know. If you are having problems with NFS or ceph mounts at boot, please file a separate bug for those issues. ** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete ** Summary changed: - _netdev not working + cifs not mounting at boot in Ubuntu 9.04 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384347 Title: cifs not mounting at boot in Ubuntu 9.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/384347/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 384347] Re: _netdev not working
Just discovered this gem trying to mount a Ceph RBD device on boot. To add insult to injury, this is on a normally headless server, which is in a difficult spot to get a keyboard and monitor to. A server that requires me to be physically present to press a S key (and also as a side-effect, *doesn't* mount volumes that it needs) is completely useless to me. I need this server to boot automatically, without intervention. If it's going to need hand-holding, save yourselves the effort and make the next release of Ubuntu symlink /sbin/init to /bin/bash and we'll do it ourselves! Okay… rant over, I needed to get that out of my system. The system in question is running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS AMD64, installed yesterday via PXE. According to /etc/lsb-release, it's release 12.04.4. I have in my /etc/fstab: /dev/rbd/pool-name/name-of-rbd /local/mountpoint xfs defaults,_netdev 0 0 rbdmap service is configured and set to start at boot. Indeed, when the machine does boot up, `mount -a` successfully mounts the RBD. However, I need to do this *before* starting services. Doing so after logging in is shutting the stable doors long after the horse has bolted. I need it to do this the moment networking is up. I see I'm not the only one a bit miffed by this situation: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2131380 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2135891 The former of those threads mentions a kludge. An ugly kludge at that.

[Bug 384347] Re: _netdev not working
I have this same issue with my nfsv4 mounts in ubuntu 10.04 running inside virtualbox. _netdev is completely ignored in fstab. For NFS mounts, this renders the system not only unusable, but unrecoverable without a livecd. Even trying to boot in system rescue mode, the boot freezes and fails. I had to recover my system by booting into a live cd, mounting my disk and commenting out the nfs mounts in fstab. -- _netdev not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384347 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 384347] Re: _netdev not working
I quote from the mount(8) manpage: 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). This isn't working in Ubuntu 9.10 either. _netdev is not honoured, while it should solve some problems. Here's how I tested. /etc/fstab: coolio:/home /home nfs4_netdev 0 0 coolio:/Xchange /srv/xchange nfs _netdev 0 0 coolio:/software /srv/software nfs _netdev 0 0 At boot, the usual messages appear (see also bug #504224) (ESC for recovery shell) /home: waiting for coolio:/home /srv/xchange: waiting for coolio:/Xchange /srv/software: waiting for coolio:/software After that, nothing. Booting is unsuccessful (That is probably bug #470776) In the recovery shell, you can see that the network is not up yet. (It comes up after a while.) Now, _netdev was declared in /etc/fstab, so mountall should have waited for the network before trying to mount the filesystems. This would result in a successful boot. ** Changed in: util-linux (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- _netdev not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384347 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
