Comment 7 for bug 431248

I've run into this issue too, but I mount two paths from my home NFS server, which is a Debian Testing box. I mount /home and /local. If I comment out /home from my /etc/fstab, but leave in /local, the system will boot.

But if I put in just /home, or both /home and /local, then it won't boot properly. One thing I've noticed is that my system also seems to be screwed up network wise, so I wonder if this issue is really due to Network-Manager screwing up /etc/resolv.conf or other networking config files, which causes the NFS mounts to fail.

I've updated my system as of Sept 28, 2009 at 9pm EST and it's still not working properly. Though I'll do some more reboots and tests in a few to see what I can do. It would be nicer if mountall was *much* more explicit about what it depends on and what it thinks it needs to be mounted properly before the system can reboot.

I have mountal 0.1.8 installed. Here's my /etc/fstab file:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

Scott, can you be more explicit about what changes you think are needed in the nfs and portmap packages?

Thanks,
John
