[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#643651: Network filesystems not mounted at boot

[Marc F. Clemente]

This is still happening to me.  Basically, the /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs script is being called before the interface is really up.  Or maybe the interface is up, but the IPv6 autoconf did not finish yet. I don’t know...

Specifically, I switched from ipv4 to ipv6 on a computer that was an nfs client and mounted the nfs shares at boot time.  Here’s my setup:

cat /etc/network/interfaces

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet6 auto
	up sh -c 'until ping6 -c 1 nfs_server.example.com ; do sleep 1 ; done'

In general, it goes through three loops (3 seconds) before it succeeds.  Then the boot process continues and the NFS shares mount fine.

ASYNCMOUNTNFS=no did not work for me.
