I investigated a little bit more around what david said on 2006-05-26 and found that /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs is not executed at boot because eth0 is already configured by the udev scripts. I checked this by removing my /etc/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules (causing the interface to be brought up before /etc/init.d/networking execution). This works for me and seems to have no side effects, but I have no idea if/how this could affect systems with hotpluggable network interfaces. Maybe it is a matter of fixing the udev rule or, if udev is really supposed to be run before networking scripts, to allow these to be aware of a possibly already configured iface.
If I have some more time I'll check how this is arranged in other distros -- nfs shares not mounted at startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/45842 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
