[Bug 511245] Re: portmap is not started during boot process before autofs and hence autofs does not work properly
I'm not sure if this is related, but my problem is similar except that statd is not starting and so autofs breaks. It was working over a week ago. -- portmap is not started during boot process before autofs and hence autofs does not work properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511245 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

Absolutely, this should be fixed for any stable release, not just LTS. -- portmap is not started during boot process before autofs and hence autofs does not work properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511245 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 511245] Re: portmap is not started during boot process before autofs and hence autofs does not work properly
I'd like to bump the priority on this as it makes it impossible for servers to come up clean. For an LTS release, I would expect that having servers boot clean would be a priority. -- portmap is not started during boot process before autofs and hence autofs does not work properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511245 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

Gets worse if you add SAN volumes that are NFS exported. There's a corner case here that's not working at all: 1 - QLogic SAN - Fails to come up until I reload qla driver with modprobe -r/modprobe 2 - NFS export, since #1 didn't come up, export also fails. 3 - Since #2 didn't come up, autofs also fails. -- portmap is not started during boot process before autofs and hence autofs does not work properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511245 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 511245] Re: portmap is not started during boot process before autofs and hence autofs does not work properly
After a few reboot, it seems I found the quick-'n-elegant fix for that issue: r...@lucid-golden:~ # cat /etc/init/autofs-ldap.conf # Restart AutoFS-LDAP after everything has settled start on (stopped networking and stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]) exec /etc/init.d/autofs restart Problem with depending on 'portmap' is that it may not be installed (since 'autofs5' only recommends 'nfs-common' and indirectly 'portmap') and may not be necessary (it seems one may use autofs-ldap to mount other-than-NFS network filesystem, e.g. CIFS). Now comes the issue of a (ported) /etc/init/autofs.conf: should it necessarily depend on 'networking' (and thus make the /etc/init/autofs- ldap.conf unnecessary) or can we imagine that autofs may be used for non-network filesystems (and should thus not depend on 'networking'; /etc/init/autofs-ldap.conf should thus be kept separate, with the 'networking' dependency but without the 'rc' one) ? Hope this helps.

[Bug 511245] Re: portmap is not started during boot process before autofs and hence autofs does not work properly
The problem is the same for NIS: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs/+bug/119660 I do agree that porting autofs to upstart would be ideal. Unfortunately, it seems it requires a good knowledge of Ubuntu's upstart events chain to do it properly. Maybe someone knowledgeable enough with the latter can come up with an elegant rewrite of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs/+bug/119660/comments/17 I had in mind something like /etc/init/autofs-ldap.conf (that would be part of the autofs5-ldap package): [...] start on (started rc-sysinit and started portmap) [...] script [ -e /usr/lib/autofs/lookup_ldap.so ] || exit 0 /etc/init.d/autofs restart end script Would that do the trick elegantly enough ? -- portmap is not started during boot process before autofs and hence autofs does not work properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511245 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 511245] Re: portmap is not started during boot process before autofs and hence autofs does not work properly
Since portmap is now started by upstart, it makes more sense to port autofs over to upstart too and trigger the start on the event of portmap being started. -- portmap is not started during boot process before autofs and hence autofs does not work properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511245 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 511245] Re: portmap is not started during boot process before autofs and hence autofs does not work properly
I'm experiencing the (same?) problem with Lucid (and autofs-ldap). After rebooting, one time it works... another time not (until autofs is manually restarted) That does sound like an upstart race condition. Unfortunately, this is quite important for enterprise environments :-( I guess at the time being, one can live with a dirty hack in /etc/rc.local: sh -c "sleep 15; /etc/init.d/autofs restart" & -- portmap is not started during boot process before autofs and hence autofs does not work properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511245 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

This looks like an upstart race to me. Ill try to get this fixed for lucid.
