This is on a beta3 system with a grep patched so that ifup at boot time actually works automatically (see #61705).... I have a laptop with a couple of NFS mounts listed in /etc/fstab. They fail during bootup. Since the NFS mounting attempts are made before the DHCP lease has been obtained, they error out attempting to connect to portmapper on the server. The scripts need to be reordered so that network mounts occur after the network is actually available. Currently, NFS mounts are rc3/S25, while configuration of PCMCIA interfaces is rc3/S45. pcmcia needs to be moved to before S25....
It looks like this ordering also breaks ntpd and autofs
No matter where we put pcmcia-cs someone will complain. However your proposal looks sane and is done for the next build
I'm reopening this. It's still broken in both upgrades of beta3 -> beta4 (I know, wet noodle flogging ;-) and in fresh beta4 installs
Hummm On a fresh install it's S24 here.........
It is on mine too, but that's actually not enough to solve the problem. Here's what we have in runlevel 3: K15httpd K65identd S13portmap S55sshd S95atd K15postgresql K74ntpd S14nfslock S56rawdevices S97rhnsd K20nfs K99microcode_ctl S17keytable S56xinetd S99cups K20rwhod S05kudzu S20random S80postfix S99local K35smb S08ipchains S24pcmcia S85gpm K35vncserver S08iptables S25netfs S90crond K45smartd S10network S26apmd S90xfs K50snmpd S12syslog S28autofs S95anacron NFS mounts at boot fail even with this ordering. The error that occurs when S25 runs is an RPC error from portmap ("unable to send"). My guess is that S24pcmcia starts cardmgr and exits. Then S25 starts, and while cardmgr is triggering its DHCP request and such, S25netfs runs and fails to mount b/c the network hasn't finished configuring yet? Moving S24pcmcia to S11pcmcia fixes it for me. That's probably the correct location (at least for this problem, though it may cause new ones ;-), since people might be doing remote syslog.... Moving it from S24 to S11 does, however, add a new error when cardmgr runs: file './config.opts' line 8: no function bindings I'm not sure why that's appearing at S11, but not at S24? It seems harmless, since everything works anyway. Other than that, moving it to S11 fixes everything for me.
