When NetworkManager it loads after mount tries to mount the network shares (set in fstab) so the system hangs until it times out. I see three problems here: - The aforementioned order of mount & NM at boot; - The default timeout being so long. I had to wait over 10 minutes! for it to get past trying to mount shares on the network; - The boot operation not showing which share it tried and failed to mount - this would be useful info. in the case of a failure. Curiously, and I have no idea why this is, even after network manager has started (at least from what I can see on the console what booting) when the GUI starts it takes much longer to become ready for log in than when using ifup. The only conclusion I can draw from this is that there is yet another point of delay during boot from this setting but I have no idea what it would be since by then all as I can see is the start up GUI. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up and nfs or other network share to mount automatically and change your network management from ifup to NetworkManager 2. 3. This is a pretty new & clean install of opensuse 11.4 64bit so I doubt there is any manual settings on my part that made this happen. -- 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.
