[Bug 384347] Re: _netdev not working

[Steve Langasek]

This bug was originally filed quite a while ago (against the wrong
package) and was reported about a problem mounting a cifs filesystem.
"_netdev" is a red herring; mountall knows that cifs (as well as nfs) is
a network filesystem, and handles it without any use of _netdev.  So if
there are problems with these kinds of mounts, they are unrelated to
_netdev and indicate a problem with the filesystem mounting itself.

There have been other reports over the past 5 years of problems with
each of these filesystem types, but I believe the issues are resolved as
of 12.04.  If you are still having problems with cifs mounts at boot in
12.04 (or trusty), please let us know.

If you are having problems with NFS or ceph mounts at boot, please file
a separate bug for those issues.

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

** Summary changed:

- _netdev not working
+ cifs not mounting at boot in Ubuntu 9.04

Title:
  cifs not mounting at boot in Ubuntu 9.04

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mount

  When my system starts up, my /mediavault file does not get mounted
  initially, though I can mount it explicitly later on. The /etc/fstab
  entry for it is:

  //hpmediavault/FileShare /mediavault cifs
  users,auto,rw,nodev,noexec,_netdev,guest 0 0

  _netdev is supposed to solve this problem, but it does not work for
  me.  Interestingly, the same fstab entry works correctly in OpenSuSE
  11.1.

  I'm running Kubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) with the KDE 3.5 remix on an Acer
  3100 laptop.
