[Bug 479965] Re: bootwait in fstab causes mount problems
This bug was fixed in the package util-linux - 2.16-1ubuntu6 I just want to point out that this means it hasn't been fixed for Karmic which is on 2.16-1ubuntu5 - am I right? Any chance of backporting the fix? -- bootwait in fstab causes mount problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479965 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 479965] Re: bootwait in fstab causes mount problems
It was a bad idea to introduce this change. Just cost me hours to find out what was wrong with a production server and I still have no fix. Using the bootwait option does not work, because the mount command doesn't know about this option. Breaking hundreds of thousands of systems is not acceptable.

Guess not. Apparently people encrypting their disk are so far from mainstream that it just doesn't make business sense to support those users of the current release. -- bootwait in fstab causes mount problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479965 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 479965] Re: bootwait in fstab causes mount problems
Scott, Waiting for all filesystems is a problem for anyone: - who uses NM to bring up their network at login time and has a network filesystem configured in /etc/fstab - who has an old and no longer applicable fstab entry that they haven't cleaned up - who has a custom fstab entry for any sort of removable media that isn't guaranteed to be present at boot time I realize that the implementation of 'bootwait' has been rocky in karmic, but eliminating it will introduce a whole different set of regressions, some of which users will *not* be able to sensibly work around with anything nearly so simple as adding an option in /etc/fstab.

[Bug 479965] Re: bootwait in fstab causes mount problems
We don't ask to wait for all the possible partitions We ask for : - no errors due to _UNDOCUMENTED_ bootwait option in /etc/fstab - waiting for _LOCAL_ filesystem until fsck is finished at least a message in a popup or CTRL-C to interrupt fsck ala debian old-fashion. It is the user responsability to vreak havoc in his system at boot time, not ubuntu's. no more, no less :-) -- bootwait in fstab causes mount problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479965 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 479965] Re: bootwait in fstab causes mount problems
For lucid, we've reverted to again waiting for all filesystems so the bootwait option has been removed (all fstab entries act as if it was there). Leaving this bug open to remind me that there's still the showthrough and optional options that util-linux's mount should ignore (generally only used for the built-ins which aren't listed in /etc/fstab, but worth having full coverage) -- bootwait in fstab causes mount problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479965 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Good news for Lucid, but in the meantime what is the solution with Karmic to have a system that waits for my filesystems to be checked ? -- bootwait in fstab causes mount problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479965 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 479965] Re: bootwait in fstab causes mount problems
I am not sure it is the same problem, but when I add bootwait in fstab for my data (which is not /home) partition, the system won't boot at all, it hangs somewhere during the process.

[Bug 479965] Re: bootwait in fstab causes mount problems
In my case, I am affected by this with a separate /home and /tmp partition. I would think you could assume that things like /home /usr and /tmp... maybe even /opt ought to hang the boot process. I grant you, if you have /big-movies or something maybe that would be ok. But certainly at least gdm/kdm (kdm in my case) ought to do something graceful when /home is empty instead of trying to start up on / which is not a good idea. -- bootwait in fstab causes mount problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479965 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It would be better to follow Ubuntu/Canonical policy to work with upstrean (as recommended by M.Shuttleworth himself) and to have the changes integrated in the package, with adequate documentation in the manpages. -- bootwait in fstab causes mount problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479965 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

How importance LOW ? Are you mad ? Currently servers boot without waiting for all partitions , and this cannot be fixed, even by adding ugly workaround in fstab.
