Bug Description
Binary package hint: mount
DISTRIB_
mount 2.12r-11ubuntu
this machine didn't have the NFS-related packages installed. i added the following to my /etc/fstab:
host:/Volumes/
when i then did:
root@ugrid4:~# mount /production/
that shell was stuck. ctl-c and ctl-z weren't able to interrupt mount
from a different shell, killall mount didn't work. i had to killall -9 mount.
once i did this:
root@ugrid4:~# apt-get install nfs-common

Fixed in 2.13 (by moving all nfs support to nfs-common - you now get a failure message if that is not installed.)
