[Bug 295976] Re: LTSP Fat client unable to mount network shares in fstab

[Steve Langasek]

Is this reproducible with later releases of Ubuntu?  (If so, it would be
a bug in mountall, since we no longer use sysvinit for filesystem
mounting.)

** Package changed: sysvinit (Ubuntu) => mountall (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

Title:
  LTSP Fat client unable to mount network shares in fstab

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: initscripts

  My Mythbuntu Diskless client (basically an LTSP Fat Client) is unable
  to mount network shares in /etc/fstab at boot. Basically at bootup it
  waits for them to be mounted, and after 15 minutes times out. However,
  typing "sudo mount -a" after bootup works without any problems.

  A workaround was to add "/etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs" to
  "/etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh" just before waiting for the shares (just
  before the "# Wait for each path..." line).

  I personally think that the /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs is never
  executed as the network interface is already up and running before the
  kernel even loads, as it boots via PXE.
