[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#826871: xen-utils-common: domU nodes with NFS filesystems fail to shutdown due to missing init dependency on nfs-kernel-server

[Geoffrey McRae]

Package: xen-utils-common
Version: 4.4.1-9+deb8u5
Severity: normal
Tags: newcomer

Dear Maintainer,

I am running a xen server with domU nodes that use NFS as the root filesystem.
Unfortunatly the init script for xendomains is missing the dependency on
'nfs-kernel-server', which causese the domU nodes to fail to shut down before
the service is stopped. This can (and has in my case) cause data corruption due
to unexpected loss of filesystem access.

I have corrected this issue locally simply by adding 'nfs-kernel-server' to the
xendomains init script under 'Should-Start' and 'Should-Stop'.
