Public bug reported: I see that OLD bug #7892 is in the system (from 2004) but this has different script details, so I'm starting a new one.
I'm on Feisty. in file: /etc/rcS.d/S35mountall.sh on line 30 (or 41, depending on the if/else clause) there is this command: mount -a -t noproc,nfs,nfs4,smbfs,cifs,ncp,ncpfs,coda,ocfs2,gfs This looks like it's meant to mount all network filesystems in fstab. Here's the relevant bits of my /etc/fstab: 10.0.0.1:/media/av/Video /media/beavis/Video nfs noatime,nodev,noexec,ro,nosuid,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0 10.0.0.1:/media/av/Audio /media/beavis/Audio nfs noatime,nodev,noexec,ro,nosuid,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0 So, just for kicks, I ran the (verbose) command manually, after a fresh boot: # mount -a -v -t noproc,nfs,nfs4,smbfs,cifs,ncp,ncpfs,coda,ocfs2,gfs and I get: "nothing was mounted" if I change the command to remove noproc, but leave the rest of the words it works... perhaps the mechanics of how mount works have changed? Perhaps once it hits noproc, it bails? >From reading the man page for mount, it seems like what we really want is "nodev" not "noproc". ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- /etc/rcS.d/S35mountall.sh doesn't mount nfs mounts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107639 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
