Description walt 2015-03-23 21:56:36 UTC
When there are NFS shares mounted over a wireless network, systemd shuts the wireless interface down *before* unmounting the NFS shares, causing the umount command to hang and thus the machine won't shut down.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mount an NFS share on a wireless machine
2. systemctl poweroff (or reboot)

Actual Results:  
After tearing down wlan0, systemd spawns a process to wait for the umount command to succeed, but it never succeeds because the NFS server can't be reached over the wireless network.

I've witnessed this too... seems to cause similar issues with LDAP setups too.
Despite my best efforts, I can't seem to add anything to the units to prevent this.
Comment 2 walt 2015-08-08 15:08:50 UTC
BTW, still happens with systemd-224-r1, nothing specific about 219.  Someone at Redhat *must* have seen this before, the scenario is not that uncommon.

Been awhile since I looked at the Fedora unit files.  Maybe a clue there...

What software are you all using to manage your network/wifi connections?
Comment 4 Dan Goodliffe 2015-08-08 15:37:27 UTC
NetworkManager for me.
Comment 5 walt 2015-08-08 16:17:35 UTC
I have wpa_supplicant@wlan0, systemd-networkd, systemd-networkd-wait-online services enabled (not networkmanager).

In your case, I think it is because wpa_supplicant@wlan0.service is not ordered before network.target.

Can you try adding the following to the [Unit] section of /usr/lib/systemd/wpa_supplicant@.service?

Before=network.target
Wants=network.target
Comment 7 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2015-08-08 17:42:13 UTC
Also, please try adding the NFS share to fstab if it is not there already; this will cause systemd to generate a mount unit for it with the necessary dependencies.
Comment 8 walt 2015-08-08 20:44:34 UTC
Great work, Mike :)  Adding the network.target fixed the problem.

A thousand thanks for this bugfix and all the hard work you do for gentoo.

> NetworkManager for me.

Would you mind filing a separate bug? I would like to close this one out once I fix the wpa_supplicant unit(s).
Comment 10 Dan Goodliffe 2015-08-08 22:07:43 UTC
Will do... thought it was the same problem because it only started when I switched to systemd... no matter. Thanks.

Sent a patch upstream (see URL).
Comment 14 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2015-08-15 00:05:53 UTC
This has been applied upstream.

gurligebis: I see you seem to be maintaining some mini patchsets. Can you backport this or tell me how you would like it to be done?
Comment 15 Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-08-15 14:58:59 UTC
Haven't had time to get my dev machine git-ified yet.

Just put the patch inside the files directory, and epatch it in, in an bumped -r release :)
