Package: initscripts Version: 2.86.ds1-61 Severity: important
The /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs script appears not to give enough time after bringing up interfaces before attempting to mount NFS shares. At boot, messages to the effect 'no route to host' are seen. After boot, ifdown/ifup operations mount NFS shares. After boot mount -a will mount NFS shares. I resolved the issue by putting a 'sleep 10' at two points in the mountnfs script thus if [ "$NETFS" ] then sleep 10 mount -a -t$NETFS fi if [ "$NETDEV" ]; then sleep 10 mount -a -O _netdev fi The server in question is a Xen domU virtual machine. Its Xen configuration looks like this: kernel = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-xen-686' ramdisk = '/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-xen-686' memory = '256' root = '/dev/sda2 ro' disk = [ 'phy:/dev/volumes/tec-web1-swap,sda1,w', 'phy:/dev/volumes/tec-web1-disk,sda2,w', ] name = 'tec-web1' vif = [ 'rate=20MB/s,ip=192.168.50.10,mac=00:16:3E:34:A4:70,bridge=br2' ] on_poweroff = 'destroy' on_reboot = 'restart' on_crash = 'restart' The network connection to the NFS server is via Xen bridging. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-xen-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages initscripts depends on: ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii e2fsprogs 1.41.3-1 ext2/ext3/ext4 file system utiliti ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii mount 2.13.1.1-1 Tools for mounting and manipulatin ii sysvinit-utils 2.86.ds1-61 System-V-like utilities Versions of packages initscripts recommends: pn psmisc <none> (no description available) initscripts suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
