[Bug 44874] Re: auto smbfs mount in /etc/fstab causes hald hang at boot
I think it might be worth adding something I have noticed: the bug is more of a problem for shares where there are a large number of files/directories present. I am generally able to boot successfully if I only attach to small shares (those with few files/folders in the root) but experience the hanging issue when the shares are large, with a large number of files/folders in the root of the share.

Re: [Bug 44874] Re: auto smbfs mount in /etc/fstab causes hald hang at boot
I think it's largely ignored because as people have suggested, if you use cifs instead of smbfs it works, without stalling. From what I know cifs is the replacement for smbfs. (from man mount.cifs: The CIFS protocol is the successor to the SMB protocol) It's installed when you install smbfs. I had to start using it trying to get Ubuntu to connect to a 2003AD server, and I noticed how much better it seems to work. No more hang on boot, no more hanging if the share goes offline (it seamlessly drops and picks up the remote share as it goes up and down) my fstab: //192.168.1.1/share /media/data cifs file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=0,gid=0,auto,rw,nouser,credentials=/etc/fstab_smb_credentials 0 0 fstab_smb_credentials: username=user% password=password I've had absolutely no problems since I started using it (and I auto mount shares with it on at least half a dozen systems) changes from using smbfs were: changing smbsf to cifs (obviously) replacing dmask=777,fmask=777 with file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 and stripping the whitespace from the credentials file (cifs would choke on it) I'd seen it mentioned here, but never knew anything about it until I had to research 2003AD stuff. I'd been using smbfs because (like so many people) I'd started my Linux learning at ubuntuguide.org who still say to use smbfs While I agree smbfs requires fixing, at least from the perspective of compatibility - I think it's a documentation problem, users need to know to use cifs instead of smbfs On 10/22/06, Dennis Heinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This sucks.

[Bug 44874] Re: auto smbfs mount in /etc/fstab causes hald hang at boot
Same here. When the samba share is auto mounted in /etc/fstab, HAL fails to initialise, the desktop is stalled for a couple of minutes. Then the desktop appears, and the samba share gets mounted. When doing lshal immediately in a terminal I got a message saying that HAL could not be connected to, either it was not running or not ready. After a couple of minutes trying lshal again shows me 94 entries from the global list. In other words, HAL seems stalled itself, waiting (too) long for samba to finish (even though it has nothing to do with samba I feel but it is in fstab the share is mounted so...). The work around, putting noauto in the fstab and after the desktop appears, mounting the share by hand seems to do it... for now. Let someone please take a look at this...

[Bug 44874] Re: auto smbfs mount in /etc/fstab causes hald hang at boot
I don't think this is a bug in smbfs. Since I upgraded to Dapper, my cifs (i.e. not smbfs) mount in /etc/fstab hasn't been working on boot. There weren't any obvious problems, no errors from the kernel, and no hangups*, so I was a bit puzzled but didn't get around to investigating it. The share doesn't get used very often and a simple 'sudo mount /mnt/share' mounted it when I needed it. Today I found this report and tried the workaround suggested, by adding noauto to the fstab entry and putting 'mount /mnt/share' in /etc/rc.local. This fixed the problem. It seems to me there is a general problem with mounting network shares, not just smbfs. I've not tried nfs. * unlike the experiences described here with smbfs - although I'm using Kubuntu and don't have Gnome installed, which may have affected things since some people mentioned problems with Nautilus. -- auto smbfs mount in /etc/fstab causes hald hang at boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/44874 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

To me this solution partially helped: sudo apt-get remove --purge hal dbus I really don't need neither hal, nor dbus. But I need the samba shares to be automatically mounted at boot time. It *partially* works means that sometimes it mounts all samba shares, sometimes it skips some mounts. So it's like a lottery or roulette: every morning at work I don't know if it will mount all my shares. Now I've tried to add pre-up sleep 5 in /etc/network/interfaces: as Andras told in his comment ( https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/44874/comments/44 ) I rebooted and all my shares are mounted.

hello, i encountered this experience with placing auto mountable smbfs in /etc/fstab if this is the case try the solution: 1) place a noauto option in your /etc/fstab smbfs entry 2) mount network shares using /etc/rc.local if your network share is to be mounted to /mnt/shared then within /etc/rc.local place mount /mnt/shared the mount command will further check fstab for correct mount options Placing it in /etc/rc.local ensures that all modules are loaded before mounting the network share.

[Bug 44874] Re: auto smbfs mount in /etc/fstab causes hald hang at boot
The noauto/mount in rc.local does work, and that is how I am currently working around the issue. However, this is a workaround and NOT a solution. There is no reason mounting network shares in fstab should not work, and it worked fine in Breezy. Upgrading from Breezy gives the impression that Dapper is broken. To a novice user, there is nothing in the symptoms of this bug (long load time with no taskbar/nautilus) that points to a network share as the problem. This bug is a regression from Breezy, and I am very surprised that it has not received developer attention after nearly 2 months.

If worked here - at least for now (I restarted the system a few times without problems). In my opinion, this work-around also points to a timing issue between starting the ethernet network, starting the samba system and mouting the network shares. Most of most of the above mentioned suggestions influence the point in time when a specific service is started: putting smbfs in /etc/modules: early in the boot process mounting shares in /etc/rc.local: late in the boot process pre-up sleep 5 in /etc/network/interfaces: give something else more time to finish This would also be consistent with my observation that the /etc/modules variant sometimes work and sometimes it doesn't. My guess: This problem is a hick-up in the multi-threaed booting process introduced sometime during the latest Dapper pre-releases. -- auto smbfs mount in /etc/fstab causes hald hang at boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/44874 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
