The problem seems to be related to the fact that I have configured my
network interface statically using /etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.20
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
When this interface gets configured, it is in the "UP" state, but it
takes 1-2 seconds to get into the "RUNNING" state. The effect is that as
soon as the interface enters "UP" state, the event "net-device-up" is
fired, upon which mountall tries to mount the network shares. Because
the interface is not "RUNNING" yet, it does not send/receive data, and
mounting fails.
Adding a delay in /etc/init/mount-net.conf makes the problem go away, as
does not using /etc/network/interfaces for network configuration.
I'm not sure if this also solves the GDM autologin problem, I'll have to
try some more.
