On a fully up-to-date F16 system (as of this morning) I have an issue with
remote mounting directories at boot. The machine's /etc/fstab contains
these two lines:
The first, to an F6 machine, always works. The second, to an F14 machine
never works at boot time, but always works with 'mount -a' done later in a
root (text) login session or 'su' time.
How can I get this to work without manual intervention?

Personally, I use a script in rc.local that checks
/proc/mount against /etc/fstab and tries to mount anything
that isn't already mounted - it is the only way I've found
to make network mounts reliable. Seems hit or miss
otherwise.

You can try enabling NetworkManager-wait-online.service.

Tom,
Do you mind sharing that script? It's a great idea for solving a common problem.

This will probably get mangled due to a few long lines, but I'll give it
a shot.
In the /etc/rc.d/rc.local script I have this line:
/usr/local/bin/bg-mount-nfs
That /usr/local/bin/bg-mount-nfs script looks like:
#!/bin/bash
#
# Background mounts for each of the nfs filesystems appearing in
# /etc/fstab not marked as noauto
#
PATH="/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin"
export PATH
sed -e '/^#/d' -e 's/[ ][ ]*/ /g' /etc/fstab | grep -w nfs | grep -w -v noauto | cut -f2 | while read mountpoint
do
nohup /usr/local/bin/mount-filesystem "$mountpoint" > /dev/null 2>&1 < /dev/null &
done
And the /usr/local/bin/mount-filesystem script it backgrounds for each
filesystem looks like:
#!/bin/bash
#
# Argument is a mountpoint, keep trying to mount the thing till
# it appears in /proc/mounts.
#
PATH="/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin"
export PATH
if [ -z "$1" ]
then
echo Hey! Missing mountpoint argument! 1>&2
exit 2
fi
check=`sed -e '/^#/d' -e 's/[ ][ ]*/ /g' /etc/fstab | cut -f2 | fgrep -x "$1"`
if [ "$check" = "$1" ]
then
:
else
echo "$1" does not appear as a mountpoint in /etc/fstab! 1>&2
exit 2
fi
while true
do
check=`sed 's/[ ][ ]*/ /g' /proc/mounts | cut -f2 | fgrep -x "$1"`
if [ "$check" = "$1" ]
then
exit 0
fi
if mount "$1" -o fg
then
:
else
sleep 10
fi
done

Tom,
It looks good from here. Thanks for saving me from reinventing that wheel. Just the sed incantations would've taken a while to come up with.

I would not be surprised if F14 is nfs4, and I've seen similar issues, older
servers using nfs3 work better. it could be related to nfs-idmapd getting going,
can't say for sure.
I don't think Networkmanager-wait-online will help, as the mounts to old
releases need a network, too, and they work.
And you didn't ask, but I'll mention that putting IP addresses in fstab is an
opportunity for simple changes to break things. I have seen people learn this
the hard way, although I didn't.

Are you sure that the local /home disk partition is mounted BEFORE the
NFS mount occurs? It could be that the NFS mount occurs at /home first,
then the local /home mount occurs, overlays the NFS mount and hides it.
Ditto with the /share mountpoint.
Before you do the "mount -a", do a simple "mount" and verify that you
haven't got the local partitions overlaying the NFS mounts.

No, that all looks exactly clean and as I would have expected it without
the NFS mount. This is running on physical partitions, BTW, rather than
LVM, in case that has anything to do with it.
