[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#613807: initscripts: /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs fails, if /var/run/network/mountnfs exists

[Bjoern Buerger]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-13.1
Severity: important


This may be a duplicate of #550883

However: Since the initscripts package introduces /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs
to the system, this package should provide a solution for proper lockfile/lockdir
handling instead of the mount package.

Description:
Apparently, the temporary directory /var/run/network/mountnfs was not removed
during a failed system startup. On any following startup, no nfs mounts where
done whatsoever, leading to a very poor user experience e.g. users log in via
gdm/xdm and get error messages complaining about missing home directory ($HOME
is located on a network share), etc.

Although this is not strictly "critical", it should be fixed soon.

to reproduce the problem:

mkdir -p /var/run/network/mountnfs
reboot
