I quote from the mount(8) manpage:
"The filesystem resides on a device that requires network access (used to
prevent the system from attempting to mount these filesystems until the network
has been enabled on the system)."
This isn't working in Ubuntu 9.10 either. _netdev is not honoured, while it
should solve some problems.
Here's how I tested. /etc/fstab:
coolio:/home /home nfs4 _netdev 0 0
coolio:/Xchange /srv/xchange nfs _netdev 0 0
coolio:/software /srv/software nfs _netdev 0 0
At boot, the usual messages appear (see also bug #504224)
(ESC for recovery shell)
/home: waiting for coolio:/home
/srv/xchange: waiting for coolio:/Xchange
/srv/software: waiting for coolio:/software
After that, nothing. Booting is unsuccessful (That is probably bug #470776)
In the recovery shell, you can see that the network is not up yet. (It comes up
after a while.)
Now, _netdev was declared in /etc/fstab, so mountall should have waited for the
network before trying to mount the filesystems. This would result in a
successful boot.
