After a few reboot, it seems I found the quick-'n-elegant fix for that issue:
r...@lucid-golden:~ # cat /etc/init/autofs-ldap.conf # Restart AutoFS-LDAP after everything has settled start on (stopped networking and stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]) exec /etc/init.d/autofs restart Problem with depending on 'portmap' is that it may not be installed (since 'autofs5' only recommends 'nfs-common' and indirectly 'portmap') and may not be necessary (it seems one may use autofs-ldap to mount other-than-NFS network filesystem, e.g. CIFS). Now comes the issue of a (ported) /etc/init/autofs.conf: should it necessarily depend on 'networking' (and thus make the /etc/init/autofs- ldap.conf unnecessary) or can we imagine that autofs may be used for non-network filesystems (and should thus not depend on 'networking'; /etc/init/autofs-ldap.conf should thus be kept separate, with the 'networking' dependency but without the 'rc' one) ? Hope this helps. Cheers -- portmap is not started during boot process before autofs and hence autofs does not work properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511245 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
