Update for whoever gets here: I triet with "bobootwait" but it failed like I anticipated it.
After some digging and source-reading I found out the following: mountall tries to mount the network volume and if it does not work, it will wait for the device by waiting for a SIGUSR. upstart sends SIGUSER as soon as the network device is availible. But this is too early. network-manager and dhcp have not completed to set up a working connection so the network mount will fail again. mountall will wait for SIGUSR again but nobody will send it until you remove and reinstall the plug to trigger upstart. So I added a "sleep 5s" in mountall-net and the problem was hacked away for me. -- karmic indefinitely waits for nfs4-mount https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501678 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
