Bug Description
Binary package hint: upstart
Kubuntu 9.10
upstart 0.6.3-10
Expected:
System actually boots without intervention
What happened instead:
System doesn't boot because mountall fails. I have to drop to a maintenance shell, start up portmap, manually mount the NFS share then manually remount / as rw with
mount -o remount,rw /
and then drop out of the maintenance shell to continue booting. This happens every time. If / isn't remounted by hand, mountall continues to fail with some message about 'waiting for mount'.
Within /etc/init/ the mountall.conf upstart file says it emits local-filesystems. portmap.conf doesn't start until local-filesystems has been emitted. However, mountall.conf tries to mount an NFS share defined in /etc/fstab but can't because portmap hasn't been started yet because portmap was waiting for mountall to finish. Cyclic problem.
