Hi, Can anyone provide me with an up to date status on this bug? It seems to be a mismatch of no less than 3 different bugs if I understand Simon's comment in message #41 correctly (see [1] for the full text).
In particular, this bug is correctly marked as a Jessie blocker due to the current bug title, which suggests that nfs-common has a circular dependency causing NFS to break under systemd. However, reading the bug I am understanding that this loop is now assumed to be fixed?

If the other bugs (see below) are still present, let us clone this bug/file separate bugs for those! NB: If you clone this bug, please remember to remove the "jessie-is-blocker" tag. If these bugs below lack information or/and are unreproducible, please also tag them as such. > Bug M1, reported by Matthew Grant, present in 1:1.2.8-6: "NFS mounts > from /etc/fstab do not work".

On the topic of "_netdev": Did you conclude that systemd correctly auto-discovered NFS as a _netdev *without* explicitly stating it in /etc/fstab? There is a mail between Simon and Ben that suggests this to be the case. If *not* the case, we /can/ add a warning in the release notes problems for that. We already have a clause for updating fstab with nodefault and nofail on disks are not critical. Having a paragraph for adding _netdev is not going to be a huge problem at this point. :) Thanks, ~Niels [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=622394#41 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
