Kubuntu mounts network fs before networking is started?

[kames]

Hello all,

I run Kubuntu 6.10.

I try to mount a smbfs via an /etc/fstab entry:

//server/storage /media/iomega smbfs rw,uid=nobody,gid=nogroup,username=xxxxx,password= xxxxx,ip=192.168.0.247,dmask=777

It fails apparently because the script /etc/init.d/mountall (S35) is run before /etc/init.d/networking (S40) is run in the default boot order.

dmesg:
[17179626.512000] smb_lookup: find //.created-by-hal failed, error=-5
[17180017.528000] smb_retry: no connection process
[17180047.528000] smb_add_request: request [cc653e80, mid=0] timed out!

Do I get something wrong?

Regards

Interesting you may change the given order, e.g. by

sudo mv /etc/rcS.d/S40networking /etc/rcS.d/S29networking

and let me / us know if this is going to change anything.

Yes. Now it works. 8) Thanks.

Is there any way to get this fixed in the distribution?

Bye

I'll add a remark to my "private rantings", available to public from http://www.penguin.ch/
- that the Gods of Ubuntu will ever listen to us mere mortals, however, I venture to doubt :P
