Mounting NFS synchronously on boot

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 3829 / 2 Years ago, mon, february 7, 2022, 7:37:45

I've added the following line to my /etc/fstab:

server:/srv/homes /home nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,hard,auto 0 0

As you can see, /home needs to be mounted during the boot or users won't have an access to their home directory.

Unfortuately, Ubuntu seems to push mounting to the background and therefore /home is mounted approximately one minute after login screen appears. How can I make it wait for successful mount?

PS. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04

In lightdm's upstart job (/etc/init/lightdm.conf), add a mounted event so it looks a bit like this:

start on ((filesystem

           and runlevel [!06]

           and started dbus

           and (drm-device-added card0 PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1

                or stopped udev-fallback-graphics))

           and mounted MOUNTPOINT=/home

          or runlevel PREVLEVEL=S)
