[Bug 575293] Re: mountall trying to check mounts with pass=0

[Paul Crawford]

The original problem, though sadly I did not post the exact messages,
was saying it could not run fsck.cifs (which of course is non-existent).
The bug in this case was that with pass=0 it should not even have tried
to run a check on boot-up.

The bug now is the same underlying problem, that during the initial pass
though fstab to do any file system checks during booting it is trying to
mount the CIFS systems which (a) won't work as networking, etc, is not
up yet, and (B) the log-in credentials are missing as they are on my
/home partition, also not mounted yet.

Basically the problem is at this stage it should only be considering
locally mounted file systems, as anything else cannot be mounted until
the system has booted further and has networking, samba, nfsd, etc, are
up.

Maybe even stronger, it should not bother at this stage with anything if
pass=0 since you are basically telling it not to check things.

Title:
  mountall trying to check mounts with pass=0

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “mountall” source package in Lucid:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mountall

  When testing the automated check of file systems with 10.04 LTS
  release version, it seems that mountall 2.14 is going through all
  entries in fstab and trying to check all of my CIFS mounts with <dump>
  and <pass> set to zero, generated warnings in boot.log about the
  missing fsck.* programs.

  Also I expected the messages to be in /var/log/fsck/checkfs and
  fsck/checkroot rather than boot.log (which is also a bug I noticed in
  Ubuntu 9.10)
