[Bug 598599] Re: mountall needs dhclient to be running

[Steve Langasek]

Based on the description, I'm marking this bug invalid.  You do *not*
have to have the network up before starting mountall, including with nfs
/ nfs4 mounts, whIch I'm doing here with no problems.  You *do* have to
have your network configuration done in such a way that it doesn't block
waiting on mountall - so either it needs to be statically configured via
/etc/network/interfaces, or if you use NetworkManager, you need to use
system-level profiles and not user-level ones.

So I'm pretty sure the problem you ran into was a configuration error
rather than a bug in mountall.  If you disagree, please provide more
information about your network config.

Title:
  mountall needs dhclient to be running

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mountall

  When you have NFS4 mounts in /etc/fstab, mountall fails and give you a maintenance shell.
  You then have to manually start dhclient and hit control-D.   After that, boot will proeed.

  Conclusion: when there are network mounts in /etc/fstab, the network needs to be up before
  mountall.

  I attach /etc/fstab.
