[Bug 733914] Re: autofs races network interfaces, ends up not working

[Clint Byrum]

The fix for this:

--- autofs5-5.0.5/debian/autofs5.autofs.upstart
+++ autofs5-5.0.5/debian/autofs5.autofs.upstart
@@ -4,56 +4,15 @@
 start on (filesystem
-   and net-device-up IFACE!=lo)
+   and net-device-up
+   and mounting TYPE=nfs)
 stop on runlevel [!2345]

Causes mountall to fail to mount any NFS mounts in /etc/fstab.

The reason is mounting TYPE=nfs comes every time an NFS mount is
*attempted* ... even when it will fail..

TO test this:

Add this to /etc/fstab (replacing ip/dir with a valid NFS mount of
course):

192.168.122.1:/home/clint /mnt nfs ro,nolock 0 0

With the previous version of autofs, this would work fine on reboot. Now
install 5.0.5-0ubuntu5 .. on reboot, /mnt will not be mounted.

Also there is no explanation given as to why we are now ignoring
/etc/default/autofs which is a bug since upgrades from Maverick will
break.
