You have been subscribed to a public bug: Problem Description ==================== It seems the remote mounts in my /etc/fstab file are not being automatically mounted at bootup with ppc64le Ubuntu 14.10. This leads to some of my upstart scripts not running because they require certain mounts being available. I can give access to the machine via SSH key or password. Using mount -a or any other mount command works just fine after bootup. I don't personally notice a problem in logs with mounts.
The machine is a VM hosted on a Power8 PowerKVM system running: # uname -a Linux kvm10d724t.rtp.raleigh.ibm.com 3.10.23-1700.pkvm2_1.2.ppc64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 2 20:14:25 CDT 2014 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux # cat /etc/base-release IBM_PowerKVM release 2.1.0 build 18 Service (pkvm2_1) VM details: # uname -a Linux cit607 3.16.0-20-generic #27-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 1 17:24:38 UTC 2014 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux # cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=utopic DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu Utopic Unicorn (development branch)" If I recall correctly, we installed the 141002 daily build of Utopic Unicorn (14.10). I have implemented a workaround for now. I updated /etc/fstab to use IP addresses instead of names, put "mount -a" as the first non-commented line in /etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh and updated the crontab to run the jobs I had in the upstart configs. This works until the problem is fixed. ---uname output--- Linux cit607 3.16.0-20-generic #27-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 1 17:24:38 UTC 2014 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux Machine Type = ppc64le Steps to Reproduce ========================= Without the workaround implemented and NFS mounts in your /etc/fstab, boot up the machine. It should be evident the mount points aren't there with df -h. == Comment: #3 - Breno Henrique Leitao <bren...@br.ibm.com> - == I was able to reproduce this problem. NFS is not mounted automatically, but it is when you run 'mount -a'. I also toggled ASYNCMOUNTNFS in /etc/defaults/rcS and no luck. ** Affects: mountall (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: architecture-ppc64le bot-comment bugnameltc-118198 severity-medium targetmilestone-inin--- -- Ubuntu 14.10 ppc64le not automatically mounting NFS mounts in /etc/fstab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1389164 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mountall in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
