This is bug #654545, which will be fixed for 12.10 and should be
backported to 12.04.

"noauto" seems like the more logical choice, then.

The mythtv-backend job has the following start condition:

start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=lo and started
udev-finish)

However, the mysql service doesn't start until the full filesystem is up
- and the 'filesystem' event is being blocked by these filesystems not
being available yet.  So I think the mythtv-backend job definition is
buggy here, it needs to start on 'filesystem' like an ordinary service.

That explains the mythtv job respawning, but doesn't explain the hang
you saw.  mountall is designed to retry mounting the network filesystems
every time a new network interface comes up.  If your interface is being
configured in /etc/network/interfaces, that should be sufficient.

Are you still experiencing this issue?  And in particular, do you still
see it in 12.04?  If so, please add --verbose to the options to mountall
in /etc/init/mountall.conf, and capture the boot-time output.  (You may
want to redirect mountall's output to a file under /run, rather than
trying to screen-scrape it.)  I don't know what caused this issue, so
we'd need that debugging info.
