Hi,
I have the same problem reported previously - the nfs mount script times
out without anything ever getting mounted.
If I run
/etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs
manually after the node has booted it works fine.
The nodes in question are diskless nodes which use netboot to start up so
I'm wondering if the check for a working network interface which you
mentioned might be failing on me.
Any suggestions on how to get /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs logging its
output somewhere, a quick look didn't show me what script this is getting
started in. I guess my situation is pretty unusual so feel free to
disregard this comment, for now I've added a quick hack to
/etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh which calls /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs directly
and this seems to do the trick (although I'd prefer to not have to
maintain such a hack going forward).
Can you point me at where the check for a working interface is performed
and I'll try to see if thats whats failing here (again, I didn't see it
from a quick look around .. perhaps the solution here is for me to take a
longer look around the startup scripts)?
Thanks,
-stephen
