Description of problem: I have the following NFS mounts in my /etc/fstab: xxx.csun.edu:/home /home nfs defaults 0 0 xxx.csun.edu:/usr/local /usr/local nfs defaults 0 0 When I boot the system, these are not mounted. If I do mount -at nfs, they are mounted properly. If I use IP addresses instead of names, everything appears to work fine: 130.166.xxx.yyy:/home /home nfs defaults 0 0 130.166.xxx.yyy:/usr/local /usr/local nfs defaults 0 0 So I suppose the domain name service is not up yet when the NFS mounts are attempted? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): On fairly up to date Fedora 9 with initscripts-8.76.1-1.i386 NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.9.3.svn3623.fc9.i386
I sometimes see that even using IP addresses fail - maybe this is an issue related to slow network interface init (?) I know that the ethernet switches that I use have some initial troubles with link negotiation and this leads to slow network init.
Try adding th 'bg' mount option
I think this is the same problem, I see during boot the rhgb boot screen opens to details view and: /etc/init.d/functions line 511: exportfs non-init addr IPADDRESS,HOSTNAME Segmentation fault at "$@" appears which appears to be an error with exportfs -r This then leads to failure to automount to work from other machines with Permission denied: messages, it is necessary to restart NFS for it to work, /sbin/service nfs restart gives these messages: [root@peterson SPECS]# /sbin/service nfs restart Shutting down NFS mountd: [ OK ] Shutting down NFS daemon: [ OK ] Shutting down NFS quotas: [ OK ] Shutting down NFS services: [FAILED] Starting NFS services: [ OK ] Starting NFS quotas: [ OK ] Starting NFS daemon: [ OK ] Starting NFS mountd: [ OK ] indicating that exportfs did not start correctly as suggested above. A temporary fix is to add the service restart into rc.local
This has the same footprint of bz: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444275 Please try the latest nfs-utils version at: (Build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=694594 )
Fixed in nfs-utils-1.1.2-6.fc9
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. 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 prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
