I have two machines A & B in my test environment -- both running suse 12.3, Computer B, once in production will be a Windows box. On B I have an smb share called testshare that mounts on A quite happily. Life is good till B is shut off. If I reboot A while B is off line, obviously the share won't mount but, in addition, postfix won't start. Note: the hostname of computer A is util-x Here is the fstab of A: /dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/md0 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 //b/testshare /media/test cifs guest,uid=1000,gid=100 0 0 As I said above A is happy when B is alive. When B is down and I reboot A, postfix doesn't start: systemctl status postfix.service postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/postfix.service; enabled) Active: inactive (dead) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/postfix.service Dec 16 05:44:33 util-x.pdc systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Postfix Mail Transport Agent. If I try to start postfix from the command line: systemctl start postfix.service A dependency job for postfix.service failed. See 'journalctl -n' for details.

Reboot A (util-x) above 3. postfix fails to start Actual Results: see writeup above Expected Results: see writeup above This seems as though it's possibly related to bug report 838750 from last September.
