[Bug 855688] New: possible systemd bug: postfix & cifs dependency confiict
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=855688 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=855688#c0 Summary: possible systemd bug: postfix & cifs dependency confiict Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.3 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: clkennedy@netpipe.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 I'm experiencing what I suspect is a systemd bug. 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.

I did some hacking and removed remote-fs.target from the Requires and After lines in posfix.service. It now seems to work as I would expect -- postfix starts regardless of remote mount errors. I really don't know much about systemd yet so please advise me of any ill effects that my change might create.

I'll will change remote-fs.target to local-fs.target in sendmail as well and Peter as our postfix maintainer should do this as well for postfix.service ;) Nevertheless I suggest insistently to add the noauto option in /etc/fstab -- 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.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=855688 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=855688#c6 --- Comment #6 from Clifford Kennedy <clkennedy@netpipe.com> 2013-12-18 14:36:33 UTC --- I don't expect the share to fail often but it is a scenario I need to plan for. This computer is destined to be an active gateway transferring data and images between several machines -- a mix of Server2008 & Linux boxes -- and will be replacing an existing machine running suse 11.1 that has been in service for several years. It is important that the MTA be active under all foreseeable conditions since this is a crucial component of its error reporting -- without the MTA it's mute. I reverted postfix.service back to its original state but, rather than add noauto to fstab, I moved the remote mounts to /etc/fstab.remote and added "mount -a --fstab /etc/fstab.remote" to crontab to run at boot time. This accomplishes the same thing but serves my purposes better. Questions: 1. This is a fresh, or nearly fresh, suse 12.3 install with all current updates and patches applied, why then is the list-dependencies option missing from systemctl? 2. If I were to remove remote-fs.target from postfix.service permanently, do you foresee any unintended consequences? 3. Should I change remote-fs.target to local.fs-target in postfix.service?
