Description Markus Mertens 2019-02-28 12:12:08 CET

Description of problem:

NFS auto mounts from the fstab file do not always work while booting.

How reproducible:

Unfortunately, this does not happen always and it may affect different mount points every time you boot the system. The problem is that remote-fs.target does not wait for the network to be online. So, very often you may be lucky and will work. But if the network establishes too late mounting will fail.

A hack to solve this problem is to add the following lines to remote-fs-pre.target:

Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

Don't know whom to assign to, CC'ing the basesystem maintainers, because they understand how systemd ticks :-)

CC: (none) => basesystem, marja11

This message is a reminder that Mageia 6 is end of life.

Mageia stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 6. At that time this bug will be closed as OLD (EOL).

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version prior to Mageia 6's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we cannot 
be able to fix it before Mageia 6 was end of life.
If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
