Description Jeremy Nickurak 2015-11-16 15:57:23 UTC
Same issue as 783786, which was closed in F20 for inactivity.

Description of problem:

Davfs2 doesn't understand the "nofail" fstab option. As such, it's risky to have a a davfs mount in /etc/fstab, because davfs doesn't know about "nofail" as option, likely making systemd fail to boot if fails to mount it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

I'm using davfs2-1.4.7-6.fc23.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put davfs2-based mount in /etc/fstab, with "nofail" option
2. Post-boot, attempt to mount

Actual results:

Error: "Unknown option nofail."

Expected results:

Mountpoint is mounted. Expected results can be obtained by removing the "nofail" option, at the risk of later boot-time problems.

Additional info:

Full error:


$ sudo mount davfsmnt/
[sudo] password for nickuj: 
Unknown option nofail.
Usage:
    mount.davfs -V,--version   : print version string
    mount.davfs -h,--help      : print this message

To mount a WebDAV-resource don't call mount.davfs directly, but use
`mount' instead.
    mount <mountpoint>  : or
    mount <server-url>  : mount the WebDAV-resource as specified in
                          /etc/fstab.
    mount -t davfs <server-url> <mountpoint> [-o options]
                        : mount the WebDAV-resource <server-url>

    dir_mode=    : default directory mode (octal)

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 13:29:40 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 15:59:14 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

This bug is currently reported against a Fedora version which is already unsuported.
I am changing the version to '27', the latest supported release.

Please check whether this bug is still an issue on the '27' release.
If you find this bug not being applicable on this release, please close it.
