https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=394482 Summary: With a slow NFS network, xdm login sometimes appears before NFS disks are mounted Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 3plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Booting AssignedTo: jsrain@novell.com ReportedBy: jdluhos@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- When the computer is connected into a slow NFS network (not necessarily slow in normal communication, but slow to respond on initial connection), it is possible that during startup, XDM login screen appears before NFS initialization script is complete. This is a problem if the home directory is on the NFS, because in this case, the user is presented with a login screen, but logins are impossible until the NFS home is connected (which may be minutes later). This can confuse the user seriously and make him/her think that logins do not work at all. -- 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.

The catch is that I don't have my /home directory on NFS; I have a local /home directory that contains only symlinks to another directory which is NFS mounted, and contains the network homes. This setup is necessary because sometimes I need a local user for tests, and some other tests simply refuse to work when the /home directory is on the network. :-( -- 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.
