[Bug 44874] Re: auto smbfs mount in /etc/fstab causes hald hang at boot

[Andras Nemeseri]

I can confirm this bug. It's really-really annoying and should be fixed
soon.

I've found a solution... Please let me know if it's working for you.

/etc/network/interfaces:

add this line right after your active interface setup:

pre-up sleep 5


i.e:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
pre-up sleep 5


I don't know why the devs not working on it... :-(
It's sooo sad.
