Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mountall
I have the following two lines in fstab: nasi.local:/secure/alex /home/alex/secure nfs defaults,rw,exec,user,nobootwait 0 0 nasi.local:/data /home/alex/data nfs defaults,rw,exec,user,nobootwait 0 0 On every boot I get prompted with the famous "S or M" prompt to manually mount or skip the mounting. The shares themselves ARE always available. Skipping doesn't work for other reasons (see [1]), nobootwait doesn't work for even other reasons ([2]). The only way to get the system to boot is to manually fix the issue by pressing "M" and then starting dhclient manually: # dhclient -v eth1 After that the boot can continue by simply exiting the emergency shell. This is clearly an issue with nfs mounts being tried before setting up the network, or at least running dynamic network configuration (i.e. DHCP). Also note that this happens reliably on every boot, so a race is unlikely. I also don't have /var as a separate mountpoint. Just for completeness sake, my complete fstab: % cat /etc/fstab | grep -v ^# proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 UUID=e278f6aa-8fba-47be-880b-53bbce04a9d8 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 UUID=c842351a-aa7c-478a-a58f-f671ca6e6858 /extra ext4 defaults 0 2 UUID=79f60f9a-a507-41d7-b00b-c831bd3ba892 /opt ext4 defaults 0 2 UUID=373f64a7-04d0-4d21-94dc-8b08c3fef2b9 none swap sw 0 0 nasi.local:/secure/alex /home/alex/secure nfs defaults,rw,exec,user,nobootwait 0 0 nasi.local:/data /home/alex/data nfs defaults,rw,exec,user,nobootwait 0 0 UUID=3a094e37-2689-435d-8a00-447274664320 /home ext4 defaults,user_xattr 0 2 And for even more completeness, the /etc/exports on the server (debian squeeze): /data 192.168.0.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash) 192.168.2.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash) 10.0.1.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash) /secure/alex 192.168.0.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash) 192.168.2.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash) 10.0.1.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash) Kind Regards, Alex [1]: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/655616 [2]: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/759450 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: mountall 2.25 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Apr 19 06:58:49 2011 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_GB:en PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/zsh SourcePackage: mountall UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: mountall (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug natty running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/765545 Title: nfs mounts in fstab are mounted before network is up -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
