Bug Description
An NFS mount that is specified in /etc/fstab does not mount on boot.
After boot:
dave@mazirian:~$ grep : /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
cerberos:
dave@mazirian:~$ grep : /proc/mounts
dave@mazirian:~$ ls -l /home/cerberos
total 0
dave@mazirian:~$ sudo mount -a
dave@mazirian:~$ grep : /proc/mounts
cerberos:
dave@mazirian:~$ ls -l /home/cerberos
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 4 dave dave 31 2006-05-15 23:45 games
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2006-05-13 23:26 -iname
drwxr-xr-x 268 dave root 8192 2006-06-06 20:18 music
drwxr-xr-x 34 dave root 4096 2006-06-07 01:42 video
During ten consecutive restarts, this problem manifested itself after each and every boot.
This does not appear to be a duplicate of Bug #46516 in sysvinit because there are no NFSv4 mounts and only one NFSv3 mount involved here.
Nor does it appear to be a duplicate of Bug #44836 in coreutils because no files are accessible within the mount before the "sudo mount -a" command is issued.
I can confirm that this is also a problem with nfsv2 mounts.
In 1 out of approx. 20-50 reboots I actually do get the nfs mounts from /etc/fstab mounted. When I eventually get a successful mount, nfs-locking is not always working.
Also, everything (including nfs-locking) worked fine before upgrading to 6.06.
