[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#359176: initscripts: needs to start rpc.gssd when there are Kerberos NFS mounts involved

[Steinar H. Gunderson]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-13
Severity: grave

(I'm not sure if this should be a duplicate of #294959 or not; I'm
filing it separately, feel free to merge as required.)

Hi,

/etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh needs to start rpc.gssd when there are nfs or
nfs4 mounts with -o sec=krb5 (or krb5i, or krb5p), just like it already
starts portmap. If not, the system simply hangs forever at "Mounting
remote filesystems...". (This used to be non-RC as mount in sid didn't
support NFSv4, but now we have Kerberos support in NFSv3 as well, so it
doesn't have to wait for mount to regain NFSv4 support.)

See the comments in #294959 for implementation ugliness -- basically, I
think the best thing to do would be to defer the mounting of these
filesystems to some later stage, where we're sure to have at least /usr
up-and-running (and stable time etc.).
