Bug description:
[Impact]
Certain systems which make extensive use of NFS mounts have not been able to
boot reliably since the migration to mountall in Ubuntu 9.10. This is because
of race conditions in the handling of mounts vs. the startup of NFS client
daemons. A proper fix of the startup of the NFS client daemons would in turn
cause a deadlock of mountall, which processes mounts serially. We should fix
mountall to parallelize its handling of mounts, so that the NFS daemons can be
fixed properly.
This issue also impacts the cloud-init package, which relies on being able to
do 'start on mounted MOUNTPOINT=/' and the like.
[Test case]
1. Have Scott Moser confirm that the package in -proposed resolves the
120-second boot-time delay in cloud images when using cloud-init.
[Regression potential]
Difficult to quantify. This code was included in the 12.10 release, however
a regression was found in that code (bug #1059471) which is now being fixed
there in SRU. There may be other latent regressions that have not yet been
identified. Furthermore, introducing additional asynchronous handling here has
the potential to expose race conditions (bugs) in other code that currently
works by accident due to the serial handling of mounts.
Binary package hint: nfs-common
I have server which runs Kerberos+LDAP+NFSv4. After installing minimal Ununtu
10.10, I set up Kerberos client and NFSv4. But I've got a problem when
restarted computer. After some retries I've noticed that idmapd does not work
properly after system restarts but there is a workaround which makes it work:
1. Edit /etc/rc.local and place there following commands
sleep 5
service autofs stop
service idmapd restart
service autofs start
2. Add rc.local to system startup:
update-rc.d rc.local enable
Hope this workaround will help to find out the source of the problem.
It is obvious that something launches in wrong way. But what is that?
Thanks!
