I checked using strace and it's appearently going through the following:

1. uname
2. /run/nscd/socket
3. /etc/nsswitch.conf
4. /etc/resolv.conf
5. /etc/hosts

Booting Debian from NFS (using EFI PXE GRUB)

2023-03-03 Thread tuxifan
Hey!

As kind of a network-wide fallback system (and for some diskless computers in 
our network) I'd like to set up EFI PXE boot for a simple Debian system. 
However, I have only been able to find very sparse and possibly outdated 
information on how to actually tell the kernel/initramfs to mount a NFS 
filesystem as filesystem root. I even asked Chatgpt, and it replied with its 
usual hallucinations, unable to provide real links to source of information.

This is what my TFTP root currently looks like:

├── grub
│   └── grub.cfg
├── grubnetx64.efi
├── initrd.img (Generic Debian Testing initrd.img)
└── vmlinuz (Generic Debian Testing vmlinuz)
(1 directory, 4 files)

And my NFS root currently isn't much more than the result of a Debian Stable 
debootstrap.

Do you have any tips and ideas on how to get Linux to mount that NFS root as 
the filesystem root?

Thanks in advance
Tuxifan

Hi!

I'm having similar random disconnect issues where even DHCP would stop working 
since very recently.
Can you check if DHCP is broken for you too when this happens? Just pull the 
reconnect ethernet and see if it's able to get an IP address at all.

Network mounts in /etc/fstab causing service ordering cycle

2025-04-25 Thread tuxifan
Hi!

I have added a few lines to /ets/fstab like this:

//u271407.your-storagebox.de/backup /mnt/hetzner cifs 
iocharset=utf8,rw,user=u271407,pass=**,uid=1000,gid=1000,cache=loose 0 3

//192.168.0.4/Root /mnt/rp64-root cifs 
iocharset=utf8,rw,user=nils,pass=**,uid=1000,gid=1000,cache=loose 0 3

192.168.0.4:/mnt/hdd /mnt/hdd nfs defaults 0 3

/mnt/hdd/Programme /home/nils/Programs none bind 0 4

However, this is causing a service ordering cycle between "local-fs.target" 
and "network-online.target" which in turn causes services to be missing after 
bootup unpredictably. Usually that causes XWayland to fail as well as 
NetworkManager.

How do I get out of this situation? What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Well, only a single computer, but do you think this would suffice?

Does this apply to Debian like that as well?Does this apply to Debian like 
that as well? This looks a bit Gentoo specific, but I am not too well with 
kernel building. I've never done it myself.

Hi! Thanks for the idea. I have added _netdev, however this isn't changing the 
startup behavior :-(

Nope, this simply binds a network location onto a local directory. Which... 
shouldn't? be a problem?

Hey,

Have you stopped and disabled other webservers like nginx or lighttpd first?
