[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#482817: Bug#482817: initscripts: No longer mounts NFS filesystems at startup

[Raphael Manfredi]

Quoting Petter Reinholdtsen:
: Can you provide the content of /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/fstab?
: NFS mounts are done when all interfaces are up.  Are there some
: interfaces listed that are not brought up during boot?

I don't use /etc/network/interfaces on this machine.  It uses the
old /etc/init.d/network hardwired configuration which says:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
	ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
	IPADDR=192.168.0.3
	NETMASK=255.255.255.0
	BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
	GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
	ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
	[ "${GATEWAY}" ] && route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is triggered by:

	/etc/rcS.d/S40network -> ../init.d/network

Before you object, let me tell you that I have other machines which use
/etc/network/interfaces and where the same problem occurs (i.e. no NFS
mounts)!

My /etc/fstab looks like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
# <file system>  <mount point> <type> <options>                 <dump> <pass>
/dev/md0             /          ext2  defaults,errors=remount-ro   0    1
/dev/hde9            none       swap  sw,pri=8                     0    0
/dev/hda5            none       swap  sw,pri=8                     0    0
/dev/hda9            none       swap  sw,pri=7                     0    0
proc                 /proc      proc  defaults                     0    0
/dev/hda1            /boot      ext2  defaults                     0    2
/dev/md1             /usr       ext2  defaults                     0    2
/dev/md2             /var       ext2  defaults                     0    2
/dev/md3             /home      ext3  defaults                     0    2
/dev/md4             /ext/disk  ext3  defaults                     0    2

: And how was your machine configured before this happend?  I thought
: the initscripts was always installed

It was configured exactly the same way.  When I installed initscripts,
many new /etc/init.d/* files were installed and the logic of mounts
was obviously changed.  I did not change any of my networking setup or
my /etc/fstab..
