fstab mounts not binding on boot.

[Munty Scruntfundle]

I'm running the debian version for the pi boards.

I've had this problem before when mounting in fstab, the file is run before the network is ready therefore the mounts fail without warning. Running mount -a when the system is fully booted forks fine.

Where do I drop the boot setting for "Wait for Network"?

Thanks.

This is an fstab entry I used when I was still using a NAS (nowadays, I use LizardFS):

Code: Select all

NAS:/volume1/music     /mnt/Music   nfs4   rw,hard,intr,async,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,actimeo=0,timeo=14,nodev,nosuid,noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10 0 0


The key options here are:
noauto -- do not automatically mount this entry while booting
x-systemd.automount -- have systemd automatically mount it AFTER the network has been started.

[p.H]

x-systemd.automount -- have systemd automatically mount it AFTER the network has been started.

AFAICS, x-systemd.automount is for on-demand automatic mouting and has nothing to do with waiting after the network is up. This is the purpose of the _netdev option.

One can also pass noauto,users options in fstab then place a mount script in (IIRC) /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ directory. See man networkmanager for details.
