I've been curious about this, and I was able to replicate the problem shortly after you sent your email. I wasn't able to get any useful information beyond that, so I let it sit for a few days. Last night I thought I should try logging the state of the network interfaces and routes when systemd reached the "network-online" state, so I wrote a shell script and systemd unit to do that, and tested again. I'm no longer able to reproduce the problem. :( It's possible that some update in the last few days has fixed the issue, but I don't see anything that looks relevant. If it comes back, you should try logging the network state to try to get some idea of when NetworkManager and systemd consider the network to be online. My fstab entry was something like: //10.1.1.1/windows /mnt cifs username=user1,password=******,rw 0 0 Note that "auto" is a default option and does not need to be specified, and _netdev is only needed for filesystems that refer to a block device which is backed by a network-available source (such as an iSCSI device). See the man page for systemd.mount for details. The unit and script are: $ cat /etc/systemd/system/iproute.service [Unit] Description=Log IP route after network is online Wants=network-online.target After=network-online.target [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/iproute-log [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target $ cat /usr/local/bin/iproute-log #!/bin/sh logger "addr at network-online" /usr/sbin/ip addr show | logger logger "route at network-online" /usr/sbin/ip route show | logger _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
