Comment 20 for bug 461133

I seem to have exactly the same problems. I first upgraded a server from jaunty to karmic, and this morning decided to give the machine a clean install (karmic server 32bits) - with only openssh, nfs-common and portmap packages installed.

I have only put the following line in /etc/fstab:

172.16.1.250:/staff /nfs/staff nfs rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft,bg,intr,nodev,nosuid,noexec 1 1

(this has always worked before)

The mountall program then hangs. When I kill it from the commandline and start it manually with arguments --verbose --debug, it ends with the following output:

...
swap finished
mounted: local 2/2 remote 0/0 virtual 11/11 swap 1/1
try_mount: /nfs/staff waiting for device 172.16.1.250:/staff
try_udev_device: block /dev/sda5 dc57d7a3-15a6-48dd-b047-b6ce35e2b2c6 (null)
try_udev_device: none by link /dev/disk/by-uuid/dc57d7a3-15a6-48dd-b047-b6ce35e2b2c6
queue_fsck: /dev/disk/by-uuid/dc57d7a3-15a6-48dd-b047-b6ce35e2b2c6: already ready
run_swapon: /dev/disk/by-uuid/dc57d7a3-15a6-48dd-b047-b6ce35e2b2c6: already activated

And mountall hangs again.

I also tried stracing on pid the mountall program, to see what it's doing, but it just loops the following:

waitid(P_ALL, 0, 0xbf88b998, WNOHANG|WEXITED|WSTOPPED|WCONTINUED, NULL) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {12981, 496289054}) = 0
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {12981, 496350970}) = 0
select(8, [0 3 4 6], [], [3 7], {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
read(4, 0xbf88bbff, 1) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)

Does anyone know if this is the same problem, or what I should do to get the NFS mount working ?

I forgot to mention: when doing a 'mount -a' the nfs gets mounted properly..

Thanks,

Leon
