[opensuse-factory] NFS and hibernation
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I post this here because I want to add a feature that should not be too dificult. I can write the script, but I need some help with two doubts. I think it is known that the kernel oopses when trying to hibernate a machine and there is an NFS mount (Bug 568132). I wondered if I could create an script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ that detects there is an NFS mount active, and aborts hibernation warning the user. But my 1st problem is how to detect there is an NFS mount? I tried this: mount | grep "type nfs" but it fails because it hits on: nfsd on /proc/fs/nfsd type nfsd (rw) Maybe I'm foggy now and can't make grep get what I want - too little sleep tonight :-) Perhaps showmount, but I don't know how to make it show only imported filesystems. And after that, I need something in the /etc/pm/sleep.d/00_checknfs script that aborts the process. Some result code, perhaps? Perhaps someone of the devs here knows about that one? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Combined with usable feedback to the user, this would be perfectly fine and would not unconditionally kill all suspend attempts, just because there is an unused NFS mount somewhere on the system. -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"

I agree that the kernel should notice and abort - who best can know? And it would be better still if it could hibernate safely - but it doesn't. But the fact is that I'm having crashes when I forget to umount nfs. I wrote that script because just the day before I had a dirty crash with a lot of errors dumps, hundred of lines to the log. I had to stop alll my desktop tasks with opened data, and power off. I prefer to have that hack than having my system crash and waste a lot of time when I just want the system to sleep. At worst, leave the hack as optional, disabled. Or enabled telling the user how to disable and try if hibernation works again. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
