[Bug 44157] Re: network drives no longer mounting after update (related to #43962?)

[akshoslaa]

alrighty, 'unfixing' fstab and rebooting gives back the long wait for
hal

the long delay for ls returns, if giving the following errors:

$ ls -ld mistress Media/Movies Media/Series wwwroot
ls: mistress: Input/output error
ls: Media/Movies: Input/output error
ls: Media/Series: Input/output error
ls: wwwroot: Input/output error

(inspite of the fact that they're there as I showed you before)

sudo mount -t smbfs -o
dmask=777,fmask=777,uid=0,gid=0,auto,rw,nouser,credentials=/etc/fstab_smb_credentials_1
//192.168.3.1/data /home/akshoslaa/mistress

gives me the familiar delay, followed by the usual "Could not resolve
mount point /home/akshoslaa/mistress"


now for the fun bit :P
I left fstab uncommented, and changed the network drives to noauto and rebooted.

No delay loading hal
no errors starting kde
I can ls the mount points (unmounted) without the delay or errors
I can manually mount each of drives with no delays or errors (eg sudo mount mistress) and access their contents normally.

This gives me a convinient enough work around, I can just set a startup
script to mount the drives from noauto once kde is loaded. Now we just
need to work out whats going wrong so it can be fixed properly :P (I'm
still guessing it's a side effect of whatever went wrong with 43962, and
once that gets fixed my problem will disappear too...
