While the mount(8) manpage says that _netdev causes the mount to be deferred until the network is up, this manpage was written in a bygone era when "network up" was a discrete event, which it hasn't been for a long time. The current behavior is that _netdev devices will be tried immediately on boot, and tried again each time a network interface comes up. If this doesn't give the desired results, I think this is a bug in the ceph driver - not in mountall, which has been tested with _netdev (and network filesystems) repeatedly and shown to work correctly.

If there is a specific connection that needs to be made before running the mount command, then I don't think that's something mountall can be expected to handle. Something else on the system would need to intercept the request for a ceph mount, and block it until ceph is available. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313513 Title: mountall does not honour _netdev To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/1313513/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
