[Bug 1235013] Re: 13.10-Network (cifs) drives do not load.

[Steve Langasek]

Oh, already well past frustrated, here. :)  But the latest results at
least confirm one thing, the mountall process is dying before mountall-
net signals it (and before it successfully mounts the network mounts,
either).  This doesn't make it any less confusing - if mountall died,
upstart should have detected that and marked the job as 'stopped' (and
possibly handled any errors from mountall itself).

Something's going very wrong here, but I have no guesses as to what,
except if you have some local upstart jobs that are blocking signals or
some of your system binaries have been modified (which you could check
by installing debsums and running 'debsums -s', I suppose).

  Since the release of beta2, I haven't been able to load network drives listed in fstab:

  # <file system>                          <mount point> <type> <options>                                                  <dump><pass>

  //192.168.1.13/Homes  /mnt/Homes  cifs  credentials=/home/pat/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm  0  0

  from mountall-net.log:

  /proc/self/fd/9: 3: kill: No such process
  /proc/self/fd/9: 3: kill: No such process

  When I open Dolphin and click on the "device' Shares on 192.168.1.13:

  An error occurred while accessing 'Shares on 192.168.1.13', the system
  responded: mount: only root can mount //192.168.1.13/Shares on
  /mnt/Shares

  At the end of the boot process, the very last line says:

  Loading network drives    [ok]

  My fstab loading of cifs drives worked beautifully until 13.10 (12.04, 12.10, 13.04). I've tried with and without options:
  auto, noauto, _netdev, sec=ntlm, sec lanman
