[Bug 1226766] Re: Mountall fails to mount NFS partitions on boot with GigE network managed by NM

[Steve Langasek]

Ok.  Can you confirm that 'sudo status network-interface INTERFACE=eth0'
shows the interface as 'running'?

If so, then I think this needs to be triaged over to NetworkManager as a
bug with NM invoking the ifupdown hook scripts too early.

** Summary changed:

- Mountall fails to mount NFS partitions on boot
+ Mountall fails to mount NFS partitions on boot with GigE network managed by NM

Title:
  Mountall fails to mount NFS partitions on boot with GigE network
  managed by NM

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  NFS partitions fail to mount on boot, and mountall freezes without mounting them. If I revert this change to the init script:
       . /etc/default/rcS || true
       [ -f /forcefsck ] && force_fsck="--force-fsck"
       [ "$FSCKFIX" = "yes" ] && fsck_fix="--fsck-fix"

  + # Doesn't work so well if mountall is responsible for mounting /proc, heh.
  + if [ -e /proc/cmdline ]; then
  + for arg in $(cat /proc/cmdline); do
  + case $arg in
  + -q|--quiet|-v|--verbose|--debug)
  + debug_arg=$arg
  + ;;
  + esac
  + done
  + fi
       # set $LANG so that messages appearing in plymouth are translated
       if [ -r /etc/default/locale ]; then
           . /etc/default/locale || true
           export LANG LANGUAGE LC_MESSAGES LC_ALL
       fi

  - exec mountall --daemon $force_fsck $fsck_fix
  + exec mountall --daemon $force_fsck $fsck_fix $debug_arg
   end script

  it works. It seems strange that this would stop NFS from mounting on boot. It appears that the NFS mounts are occurring before DNS is up. mountall.log contains:
  mount.nfs: Failed to resolve server rt-ac66u: Name or service not known
  mountall: mount /mnt/readyshare [815] terminated with status 32
  Filesystem could not be mounted: /mnt/readyshare
  mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth
