*** Bug 69802 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 90275 [details]
Patch to /etc/init.d/netfs that fixes the problem
This patch seems to fix the problem for me. It pretty much waits for fuser to
complete, but if fuser remains blocked in disk wait for about 5 seconds, it
gives up on waiting for it to complete.
*** Bug 82795 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this part of the point of Hard mounting over Soft mounting? The purpose of hard mounting is that the file system stays up indefinetly waiting for the server to come back online. If the server has dissapeared for what ever reason, then it is a "serious" situation. Do we want to alter the scripts to just drop this connection? Would it not be better, that if this problem is frequent that the users mounts them softly, so that the kernel can receive the failure messages and give up on the mount point? Just my two pence worth, but I am a mear amature :) Doug |
