Bug#482817: [Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#482817: initscripts: No longer mounts NFS filesystems at startup
Quoting Petter Reinholdtsen: : The scripts involved are /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs and : /etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh. The first do the real mounting when the last : network interface is brought up, and the second wait for the first to : complete before continuing the boot. Could it be that these scripts : break when /etc/network/interfaces isn't present? Try adding 'set -x' : at the top of both to get debug output during boot. How do I capture the output on the console? I use a netconsole but it only displays kernel boot messages. I never had the need to capture init script output to a file before so if there is a convenient way already frameworked, I'm all for it.

Hmm... I've been using linux 2.6.x for a long time, well before I installed "initscripts" and the old way was working perfectly fine.

The NFS mounting is : done by ifupdown when the last of the interfaces listed in : /etc/network/interfaces is up. If you want the old synchronous : behavour, use ASYNCMOUNTNFS=no in /etc/default/rcS. No, the other machines use /etc/network/interfaces. However, one of them has 2 network cards (it's my router / firewall), and they are declared as: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 : : How did you manage to install a Debian machine without the initscripts : package?

I installed these machines back in 1998 (it was Debian 2.0 I think). Since then, I have never performed any "apt-get dist-upgrade", I only installed packages as I needed them. True, I had a long time ago the need to create a standalone /lib/init/vars.sh file to be able to let new packages configure. Funnily, none had a dependency on initscripts. Recently though, I had to install a foreign .deb (not from Debian) that required initscripts explicitly. Hence I grabbed it. And then my problems begun... I have no ASYNCMOUNTNFS variable in my /etc/default/rcS script. But I'm reluctant to use this. I would prefer to help you understand why it does not work here, to benefit everyone. Although I do have exotic configs on some machines, others are pretty standard and exhibit the same problems. Raphael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Quoting Petter Reinholdtsen:
: Can you provide the content of /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/fstab?
: NFS mounts are done when all interfaces are up. Are there some
: interfaces listed that are not brought up during boot?
I don't use /etc/network/interfaces on this machine. It uses the
old /etc/init.d/network hardwired configuration which says:
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
IPADDR=192.168.0.3
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
[ "${GATEWAY}" ] && route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1
It is triggered by:
/etc/rcS.d/S40network -> ../init.d/network
Before you object, let me tell you that I have other machines which use
/etc/network/interfaces and where the same problem occurs (i.e. no NFS
mounts)!
My /etc/fstab looks like this:
#
/dev/md0 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 01
/dev/hde9none swap sw,pri=8 00
/dev/hda5none swap sw,pri=8 00
/dev/hda9none swap sw,pri=7 00
proc /proc proc defaults 00
/dev/hda1/boot ext2 defaults 02
/dev/md1 /usr ext2 defaults 02
/dev/md2 /var ext2 defaults 02
/dev/md3 /home ext3 defaults 02
/dev/md4 /ext/disk ext3 defaults 02
tours:/var/cache/apt/archives /var/cache/apt/archives nfs bg,hard,intr,nolock
: And how was your machine configured before this happend? I thought
: the initscripts was always installed
It was configured exactly the same way. When I installed initscripts,
many new /etc/init.d/* files were installed and the logic of mounts
was obviously changed. I did not change any of my networking setup or
my /etc/fstab..
