What fixed the issue for me is doing: sudo systemctl edit --full nfs-config.service
then editing it to look like this: [Unit] Description=Preprocess NFS configuration After=local-fs.target remote-fs.target NetworkManager.service DefaultDependencies=no [Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=yes ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/nfs-utils_env.sh Other suggestions on various forums dont work such as adding dbus.service to wpa_supplicant.service -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1594658 Title: diskless setup with nfs mounted home hangs on shutdown/reboot Status in nfs-utils package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 16.04 fresh install hangs when shutting down. The system is diskless PXE-booted with a couple of nfs mounted directories including homedir. As I have no persistent storage whatsoever, I don't have any logs, but in debug-shell, running journalctl -f I can see that it hangs at [ *] (1 of 2) A stop job running for Raise Network Interfaces (10s / 1min 30s)Jun 20 20:23:05 $hostname kernel: nfs: server $nfs-ip-address not responding, still trying Jun 20 20:23:05 $hostname kernel: nfs: server $nfs-ip-address not responding, still trying Jun 20 20:23:14 $hostname kernel: nfs: server $nfs-ip-address not responding, still trying Jun 20 20:24:08 $hostname kernel: nfs: server $nfs-ip-address not responding, still trying Second job in "(1 of 2)" is thermald, turning it off does not fix the problem. Also, this counter "(10s / 1min 30s)" stops visually updating. server $nfs-ip-address is not responding, because, all network interfaces are already down at this point. I am not exactly sure why this happens. Looks like there is a wrong ordering of shutdown of systemd services, which bring down interfaces before something nfs-related, but I am not sure if that's the reason of hanging. Workaround that fixes the problem: In /lib/systemd/system/networking.service comment following line: ExecStop=/sbin/ifdown -a --read-environment To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/1594658/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
