Unable to mount nfs file systems on boot on diskless client

[Regnar Bang Lyngsø]

Hi,

just made a diskless client with Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft.

The root nfs file system works fine.

Other NFS file systems, however, are not mounted during boot.

Line in /etc/fstab

askepot:/home /home nfs auto,rw,user,hard,intr,exec 0 0

I am using a fully updated system.

Found out that others are experiencing the same problem with Feisty:

I have nailed it down to the following line in /etc/init.d/mountall.sh:

mount -a -t noproc,nfs,nfs4,smbfs,cifs,ncp,ncpfs,coda,ocfs2,gfs

Running this in a terminal (with sudo) also results in failing nfs mount.

However, if the noproc is removed - or moved after the nfs part - nfs mount is mounted correctly.

e.g,
sudo mount -a -t nfs,noproc,nfs4,smbfs,cifs,ncp,ncpfs,coda,ocfs2,gfs

works fine - same goes for

sudo mount -a -t nfs4,smbfs,cifs,ncp,ncpfs,coda,ocfs2,gfs,nfs,noproc

and even

sudo mount -a -t smbfs,noproc,nfs,nfs4,cifs,ncp,ncpfs,coda,ocfs2,gfs

works. It seems to fail only if noproc is the first type written in the list.
