[Bug 44157] Re: network drives no longer mounting after update (related to #43962?)

[akshoslaa]

yep, they're there (it was all working fine (and has been for quite some
time) untill the hald update the other day)

akshoslaa at akhshamineth:~$ ls -ld mistress Media/Movies Media/Series wwwroot
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 2006-05-12 11:01 Media/Movies
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 2006-05-12 11:01 Media/Series
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 2006-05-12 11:01 mistress

I haven't tested that mount command yet, but figured I'd let you know
the result of my 'typo testing'

my network drives are currently mounted.

to achieve this, I 'typoed' out each of the appropriate lines from fstab
(I used 3's just to be sure) and rebooted. The long delay loading HAL
didn't happen, neither did the dialogue telling me that "the process for
the system protocol died unexpectedly" error I have been getting upon
forst starting KDE. I opened up a terminal and checked that the drives
hadn't mounted (which they hadn't), edited fstab to remove the '3's and
ran a sudo mount -v -a...

it's odd, it says nothing was mounted, but the drives are coming up just fine. -v is making it ask for the password to the samba shares (it doesn't ask if I just use -a, I just checked)

I'm guessing that the typos are preventing it from trying to mount
during boot (so commenting the lines out should have the same effect)
thereby avoiding whatevers going wrong during boot. Once everythings up
and running I can mount them fine, but only if I didn't try during boot.

I was getting the same sort of delay as with hald/mount -a when I tried
to ls the mount points. (before commenting them out of fstab)
