Not to pile on here . . . but i have three servers 13.04 at Rackspace (admittedly, I cannot be certain that the actual hardware is anything like identical -- but I have configured them side-by-side, and their installation is identical). Two of the three servers can handle two (2) NFS mounts in the /etc/fstab during boot. The third one can only handle one (1). It appears that which one is unimportant, since I can swap the mounts around, reconfigure them, etc. But if there are two in the /etc/fstab for the one server, it sticks at "disconnected from Plymouth."
My solution was to put the "most important" nfs mount in the /etc/fstab, and to put others in /etc/rc2.d. But that's me. This certainly *seems* to be a race condition, but I cannot offer anything more than my opinion on that. Perhaps this extra observation helps, or perhaps you can ignore it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1226766 Title: Mountall fails to mount NFS partitions on boot with GigE network managed by NM Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: NFS partitions fail to mount on boot, and mountall freezes without mounting them. If I revert this change to the init script: . /etc/default/rcS || true [ -f /forcefsck ] && force_fsck="--force-fsck" [ "$FSCKFIX" = "yes" ] && fsck_fix="--fsck-fix" + # Doesn't work so well if mountall is responsible for mounting /proc, heh. + if [ -e /proc/cmdline ]; then + for arg in $(cat /proc/cmdline); do + case $arg in + -q|--quiet|-v|--verbose|--debug) + debug_arg=$arg + ;; + esac + done + fi # set $LANG so that messages appearing in plymouth are translated if [ -r /etc/default/locale ]; then . /etc/default/locale || true export LANG LANGUAGE LC_MESSAGES LC_ALL fi - exec mountall --daemon $force_fsck $fsck_fix + exec mountall --daemon $force_fsck $fsck_fix $debug_arg end script it works. It seems strange that this would stop NFS from mounting on boot. It appears that the NFS mounts are occurring before DNS is up. mountall.log contains: mount.nfs: Failed to resolve server rt-ac66u: Name or service not known mountall: mount /mnt/readyshare [815] terminated with status 32 Filesystem could not be mounted: /mnt/readyshare mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: mountall 2.51 Uname: Linux 3.11.1-customatom x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia .run.mount.utab: ApportVersion: 2.12.1-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Sep 17 14:49:53 2013 ExecutablePath: /sbin/mountall InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-04-15 (520 days ago) InstallationMedia: Mythbuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" - Beta amd64 (20120328) MarkForUpload: True ProcEnviron: TERM=linux PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ProcKernelCmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.1-customatom root=UUID=708b3ba8-c42a-4adf-a195-c0fb8d8f8dd3 ro --verbose SourcePackage: mountall UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to saucy on 2013-06-28 (81 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1226766/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
