Bug Description

Binary package hint: mountall

Ceph is a new network filesystem, which is supported in Ubuntu as of 10.10. However, it cannot yet be used as /home, because mountall doesn't know to mount it after the network interfaces are up. The fix is to add "ceph" to is_remote(). (patch attached)

I am running on raring and an entry with ceph in /etc/fstab is not mounted at boot becuase it is tried before the network is up.

I'm running mountall 2.36 on Ubuntu 12.04, and the problem still exists.

contents of /etc/fstab:
haproxy1:6789:/ /mnt/ceph ceph noatime 0 2

Reboot does not mount filesystem, but issuing 'mount -a' does.

So, what happens when mount tries to mount a ceph filesystem before the network is up? I think the remaining problems need to be addressed in the ceph packages - mountall knows to treat ceph as a network filesystem and re-try the mount when a network interface comes up, so if that's not working then the problem is with the reliability of the ceph mount helper.
