Ok, that would be fine. > but I doubt that second try is performed by the bootup.. it's more like > it's the log from my cron script trying. You can take my word for it. That's how mountall works, and no output from your cron jobs ever lands in the boot.log. > I don't know the bootup process in details and what does print that > message, but the common meaning of "Name or service not known" is DNS > failure, which doesn't make sense on an IP address. It's arguably a bug that mount.nfs tries to pass an IP address to the resolver, but that's not the bug that's causing your problem. > do you know of anyway of making the networks logs be more verbose without > upgrading the server? I'm fine modifying the bootup scripts if you give > me precise instructions If you don't have a spare machine you can run a test from, and you aren't prepared to upgrade this server to a pre-release version of 12.04 (which is completely understandable), the next best thing would be to install the upstart package from precise directly; there's no really good way to get better logging just by modifying the boot scripts. However, installing the upstart package will also require versions of the ifupdown and initscripts packages from Ubuntu 11.10 or later. Is there any reason this server is at 11.04 still? If it could be upgraded to 11.10 and the precise upstart package installed from there, that might be the best option. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
