Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-13.1
I have several lines describing my remote cifs filesystems in /etc/fstab. For
example.
/etc/fstab:
//192.168.0.1/Shared /mnt/samba/shared cifs
uid=33,gid=33,file_mode=0666,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=cp1251,username=foo,password=pass
0 0
During boot-up automount scripts try to mount all filesystems mentioned in
/etc/fstab.
It often happens before network interface become actually being brought up.
Especially ethernet bridges go up very slowly.
Then I can see the following errors in my logs:
CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -113
Of course, automatic mount of cifs filesystems fails during boot-time.
I have to mount them later, manually.
I suggest to exclude cifs filesystems from boot-time automount scripts and
mount them later, after all interfaces are up. For exapmle, to arrange something
like "mountnfs" behaviour.
This is my suggestion into whishlist for further releases.

It is impossible to disentagle these reports which have been lumped together but
have incomplete information and may not have had the same underlying cause
I think that recent if-up.d/nfsroot works as advertised.
Please note that you must use auto (rather than allow-hotplug) for the relevant
/etc/network/interfaces.
ASYNCMOUNTNFS=no in rcS(5) is useful if you boot with nfsroot or ip on the
kernel command line. That will become the default in these cases when the patch
in #434570 is uploaded.
So, I am going to close all of these remaining reports.
If there are still outstanding issues, please open new issues and we can start
again with a clean slate.
Thanks
Mark
