no nfs mount at boot time

Hi,
after I have updated to gentoo 1.4 the partitions in the LAN are not mounted anymore at boot time.
fstab hasn't changed, and root can mount it manually when the system is up.
I do it manually like this

Is "netmount" in the default runlevel? What is the version of baselayout?

same problem since yesterday
netmount is in default runlevel

mount -a still works, so there's nothing wrong with fstab.

I had that same problem a couple weeks ago. Although netmount etc. was in the correct runlevel, fstab had the correct entries and so on, nothing was mounted at boot time but had to be done manually. This was fixed after I did an emerge rsync and updated to a new baselayout

As I realized that baselayout was updated at least twice the last couple days, maybe another emerge rsync solves the problem (the version I updated to just yesterday is 1.8.5.3)?!

Unfortunately, I can't really check on that as I'm currently on the road and won't return home until friday

I hope I could help!

Yes, rac, netmount is there and the baselayout is the current (1.8.5.3).
Meanwhile I have made a work around and put a mount command in the local.start and umount to local.stop.

But I'd like to know why it doesn't work. I've also tried it with a new kernel where nfs is compiled into because I thought the nfs modules came too late for the mounts at boot time - but without success.

f.kater, is portmap in your default runlevel? It appears that the baselayout developers have chosen to "solve" the problem of hangs when portmap is not running on the client by silently refusing to mount nfs filesystems. See /etc/init.d/netmount for details.

Yes, portmap is loaded during boot, however *after* netmouts are done... May that be a reason?

I use nfsmount i.s.o. netmount.
I had similar problems, which were resolved by using nfsmount...

I've been looking for a solution to this exact problem. I haven't tried nfsmount (instead of netmount), but I read through this page:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rc-scripts.xml

and I added this line to /etc/init.d/netmount (at the top of depend()):

after portmap

and that seems to have fixed it.
