Is there anyway to circumvent this behaviour? I recently discovered
that when a machine gets rebooted its missing the first NFS mount
point because the nfs client is booting in parallel to nscd which is
causing a race condition the always misses the first mount point ( I
can't statically define IP in /etc/hosts because it points to a
dynamic nameserver which returns one of many IPs to mount from ).
Moving the nfs services to the back of the init process in runlevels
3 & 5 and turning of the parallel boot flag in /etc/sysconfig/boot
seems to have done the trick, but insserv keeps messing up my
linking and in turn I have a bunch of people showing up at my door
unable to login (home directories are the first mount point in the
fstab).
To answer my own question, you change the Required-Start option in /
etc/init.d/nfsboot and /etc/init.d/nfs to $all, run insserv and make
sure the parallel boot of unrelated services is set to 'no'. This
will set the symlinks and keep them proper.
Cheers
Todd
