Scott, I can't corroborate the claim that "old boot scripts" are responsible for bringing up the filesystem. If I configure, e.g., /srv as a cifs share, everything comes up successfully for me as long as the server is available. I think the difference is most likely that Christoph's network connection is managed by network-manager, and doesn't come up at all until after logging in via gdm. Christoph, can you confirm that this is the case - your network connection is managed by network manager, and user credentials (e.g., a WEP key or WPA passphrase) is needed in order to bring that connection up?
Either way, though, the fix is going to be the same - don't treat arbitrary submounts of FHS directories as blockers for starting the system. ** Also affects: mountall (Ubuntu Karmic) Importance: Medium Status: Triaged ** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu Karmic) Milestone: None => ubuntu-9.10 ** Tags added: regression-potential ubuntu-boot ** Summary changed: - remote filesystem under local filesystem treated as local + arbitrary mount points under FHS directories (incl. /home) block the 'filesystem' signal ** Summary changed: - arbitrary mount points under FHS directories (incl. /home) block the 'filesystem' signal + arbitrary remote mount points under FHS directories (incl. /home) block the 'filesystem' signal -- arbitrary remote mount points under FHS directories (incl. /home) block the 'filesystem' signal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447649 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
