I've just started seeing this again after upgrading to trusty. This time sending SIGUSR1 does not work. The mount.nfs process appears hung on boot. Killing this process, and then sending SIGUSR1 to mountall results in the partition mounting.

If I revert this change to the init script: . /etc/default/rcS || true [ -f /forcefsck ] && force_fsck="--force-fsck" [ "$FSCKFIX" = "yes" ] && fsck_fix="--fsck-fix" + # Doesn't work so well if mountall is responsible for mounting /proc, heh. + if [ -e /proc/cmdline ]; then + for arg in $(cat /proc/cmdline); do + case $arg in + -q|--quiet|-v|--verbose|--debug) + debug_arg=$arg + ;; + esac + done + fi # set $LANG so that messages appearing in plymouth are translated if [ -r /etc/default/locale ]; then . /etc/default/locale || true export LANG LANGUAGE LC_MESSAGES LC_ALL fi - exec mountall --daemon $force_fsck $fsck_fix + exec mountall --daemon $force_fsck $fsck_fix $debug_arg end script it works. It seems strange that this would stop NFS from mounting on boot. It appears that the NFS mounts are occurring before DNS is up. mountall.log contains: mount.nfs: Failed to resolve server rt-ac66u: Name or service not known mountall: mount /mnt/readyshare [815] terminated with status 32 Filesystem could not be mounted: /mnt/readyshare mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: mountall 2.51 Uname: Linux 3.11.1-customatom x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia .run.mount.utab: ApportVersion: 2.12.1-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Sep 17 14:49:53 2013 ExecutablePath: /sbin/mountall InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-04-15 (520 days ago) InstallationMedia: Mythbuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" - Beta amd64 (20120328) MarkForUpload: True ProcEnviron: TERM=linux PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ProcKernelCmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.1-customatom root=UUID=708b3ba8-c42a-4adf-a195-c0fb8d8f8dd3 ro --verbose SourcePackage: mountall UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to saucy on 2013-06-28 (81 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1226766/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
