Same here with an 14.10 AMD64 installation on a KVM machine. The workaround with "mount -a" in rc.local doesn't help much for daemons that need the mounted NFS share at startup. They're failing when the mount isn't present at boot time.
I've stopped further deployment of Utopic until this bug has been fixed. It is really a showstopper and needs a fix very soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mountall in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1384502 Title: fstab entry for nfs /home fails to mount on boot Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: i'm uncertain exactly when this issue started as we use cfengine (verifies all expected mounts in place, manually mounts those that are not). from a note i have i believe it goes back as far as lucid. the symptom is that an /etc/fstab entry for an nfs-mounted /home is not mounted during the system boot. once the system is network- accessible, manually running `mount -tnfs -av` as root (or using cfengine or any number of other solutions) is sufficient. per lp#836533 i added "--verbose" to /etc/init/mountall.conf and will attach the resulting /var/log/upstart/mountall.log and /etc/network/interfaces. the smoking gun appears to be: mount.nfs: Failed to resolve server nfs-home: Temporary failure in name resolution ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: mountall 2.53 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-38.65.lp1383921-generic 3.13.11.8 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-38.65-generic x86_64 .run.mount.utab: ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.5 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Oct 22 16:35:47 2014 ProcEnviron: TERM=rxvt-unicode-256color PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/usr/bin/zsh ProcKernelCmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-38.65-generic root=/dev/md0 ro consoleblank=0 console=tty0 console=ttyS2,115200n8 nomdmonddf nomdmonisw bootdegraded=true SourcePackage: mountall UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/1384502/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
