Interesting, I think I've been given conflicting information over the years - I remember being told to use 'ncp' instead. What should I do? For what it's worth, the manpage of mount.ncpfs shows it using 'ncp'. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

What should I do?

For now, keep 'ncpfs', I'll fix systemd so it accepts both ncp and ncpfs. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yes, it fixes the failed boot. Thank you!

It will be part of a future maintenance update (not sure when).

I just found the reason: - there were two different implementions of netware for Linux, one proprietary (ncp) and one opensource (ncpfs). The proprietary one was phased out and now, the opensource version is handling everything. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
