In case the people debugging this don't have a diskless pxe system to work from, I wonder if the difference between what the mtab says and what the fstab says is confusing mountall. Example:
fstab: /dev/nfs / nfs defaults 0 0 mtab: 192.168.23.2:/export/diskless/fajr on / type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.33.2) Meanwhile, for people who need to work on their machines while this is being debugged, I got mine to start with this really awful hack, which I will delete from /etc/init once my mountall is updated: # fake-mountall - Mount filesystems on boot # # This helper mounts filesystems in the correct order as the devices # and mountpoints become available. description "Mount filesystems on boot" start on startup expect daemon task emits local-filesystems emits filesystem # temporary, until we have progress indication # and output capture (next week :p) console output script echo "Sleeping to let regular mountall do its funky thing." sleep 10 initctl emit local-filesystems exec initctl emit filesystem end script -- NFS root device never ready https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430348 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
