Description Steve Herber 2005-06-11 01:49:56 UTC

My apache2 DocumentRoot is an NFS autofs mounted mount point.
Apache2 depends upon netmount.
Netmount checks for NFS entries in /etc/fstab.  I don't have any there, they are
all derive from my YP server auto.master configuration.
Netmount should therefore conditionally depend upon the mount point tests that
are in autofs.  This would also pick up LDAP mount points. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot system
2. see apache2 fail after startup because it can't find it's document root
3. manually run apache2 after autofs and it works

Actual Results:  
Apache2 is not running

Expected Results:  
Apache2 should start after autofs has started.

what does your /etc/fstab look like

Comment 2 Steve Herber 2005-06-12 02:03:55 UTC

Here is my /etc/fstab after I removed comments and mount points for my card
reader, followed by the output from my ypcat -k auto.master command.

this is an autofs issue not a baselayout issue ... autofs already has its own
init.d script, there's no real good reason to incorporate it into netmount

Comment 4 Steve Herber 2005-06-12 17:39:25 UTC

Netmount is what apache, and probably other packages, use to make sure any
network mountable filesystems are available.  Isn't there a way to have netmount
conditionally depend upon autofs if autofs has been enabled?  Netmount seems
like the right place to make sure autofs is started if autofs is enabled.  How
do you implement a conditional depend in the initscripts?

Comment 5 INODE64 Sistemas 2005-06-27 08:24:11 UTC

the fix in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97210 can solve this problem

I have the same problem with samba and apache

netmount now does:
    use afs-client amd autofs nfs nfsmount ...
