Alright I've pushed up branches for nfs-utils and portmap that address this issue in natty. The open merge proposal for nfs-utils is dependent on the portmap package due to the new portmap-wait and portmap-boot upstart jobs.
I've tested this on a clean natty vm with and without sleeps inserted for fsck, portmap start, and statd start, and it all seems to work no matter the race. Note that I was able to get around looping and polling for upstart jobs to start with the technique used in portmap-wait and statd-mounting. This seems to be a reliable way to allow waiting on a job that one did not trigger the start/stop for, and may be a good candidate for an upstart feature request. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525154 Title: mountall for /var races with rpc.statd -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
