[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#674039: /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs: boot stalls by 3 minutes because network is not configured yet (using network-manager)

[Andrei POPESCU]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-22.1
Severity: normal
File: /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs

Hello,

I'm using network-manager and have a NFS share configured in fstab. 
After upgrading to latest ifupdown (0.7~rc3) the boot is stalling for 3 
minutes. Here is the relevant excerpt from /var/log/boot

Tue May 22 19:16:25 2012: [....] Configuring network interfaces...Starting rpcbind daemon....
Tue May 22 19:16:26 2012: Starting NFS common utilities: statd idmapd.
Tue May 22 19:19:26 2012: mount.nfs: Connection timed out

I'm guessing this is triggered by this change in ifupdown:

  * Call hook scripts when processing all interfaces:
    - If ifupdown is called with the --all option, before or after doing
      anything to the interfaces, it calls all the hook scripts (pre-up or
      down) with IFACE set to "--all", LOGICAL set to the current class
      specified by the --allow option (or "auto" if it's not set),
      ADDRFAM="meta" and METHOD="none".

As far as I can tell the mount can't succeed because I'm using 
network-manager which is started only later:

Tue May 22 19:19:33 2012: [....] Starting network connection manager: NetworkManager

Thanks for reading,
Andrei
