Description of problem: Dispatcher script for starting netfs service wrongly gets default gateway device. The following: defdev=$(/sbin/ip route ls | awk '/^default/ { print $NF }') will only work for: default IP_ADDR dev GW_DEW but a default route output (ip ro ls) could also contain proto PROTO src SRC_ADDR This could be fixed like this: defdev=$(/sbin/ip route ls |grep -o -e 'dev [^ ]') Otherwise netfs won't start at boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-8.76-1.i386 Actual results: no network drives after boot. Expected results: Additional info: my default route: default via 192.168.1.20 dev eth0 proto static will result in defdev=static which is wrong.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I just updated to initscripts-8.76.2-1, which contains an update for 05-netfs that resolved this bug. netfs now starts up properly (tested without reboot by calling './05-netfs eth0 up')
