[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#390404: initscripts: /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs does not mount nfs directory at boot time

[Chaogui Zhang]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-27
Severity: important


The NFS directory listed in /etc/fstab is not mounted. Tried using the 
/etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs script manually and it didn't work either
(without giving any error message). 

Using "mount host:/remote-direcotry /mountpoint" works without any 
problem. Using the stable version (2.86.ds1-1) of /etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh 
script worked without any problem. The testing version (2.86.ds1-20)
/etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs script does not work either on my system.
Also tried the 2.86.ds1-28 version of the same script without any luck.

BTW, using "apt-get install initscripts" install the 2.86.ds1-28 version
of the package and reportbug says it is newer than what Debian has! So I
manually installed the 2.86.ds1-27 version of the package.
