[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#693132: initscripts: mountnfs fails at boot if $NFSHOST is present on /etc/hosts

[Teodor]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-13.1+squeeze1
Severity: normal

Hi,

After testing NFS on four Debian hosts I've found that the presence of a
static entry for the NFSHOST will make mountnfs to fail at boot. Ironically,
I've added the static entry just to make it more reliable.  :-)_

The one that fails is probably /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs since the init
script /etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh appears to be a no-op -- at least for mount
point /srv/backups. After some testing I see that do_wait_async_mount it
detects correctly the nfs entry from the /etc/fstab file but it no other
action is taken.

Cheers
