I don't really understand your comment, I'm afraid. Anyway: Even with my static address setup there's a 1:5 chance that the home directory is not mounted in time. If I wait for DHCP, it is never mounted in time. Then, the boot process simply fails, which mustn't happen.
I agree that mounting the home directory via NFS is a rare configuration nowadays but it is useful in some situations as has ever been supported by UNIX-flavoured systems, so I think Ubuntu should support it, too. At some point in the boot process, the boot process must not continue until all fstab mounts have been successful (of course, with a proper timeout). Currently, the NFS error is simply ignored and the mounting is postponed. In my opinion this is suboptimal behaviour. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1059522 Title: nfs not mounted during boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/1059522/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
