    mount error(101): Network is unreachable

    I am running Lucid 64bit. I have noticed that when booting I get the following errors when mounting cifs volumes during the boot process.


    from boot.log:

    mount error(101): Network is unreachable
    Refer to the mount.cifs( 8 ) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
    mount error(101): Network is unreachable
    Refer to the mount.cifs( 8 ) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
    mount error(101): Network is unreachable
    Refer to the mount.cifs( 8 ) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
    mountall: mount /media/misc [932] terminated with status 32
    mountall: mount /media/music [933] terminated with status 32
    mountall: mount /media/fs_files [934] terminated with status 32

    they do mount but this error pauses the boot process for 10 or 15 seconds.

    My assumption is that an attempt is made to mount the drives before the network is available.

    Here's my fstab:

    Code:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
    # for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
    # devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
    #
    # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>

    Any idea how to resolve this?

    Thanks

    Use the _netdev option:
    Code:
    //192.168.5.102/misc /media/misc  cifs  credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,noperm,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,_netdev 0 0
    //192.168.5.102/music /media/music  cifs  credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,noperm,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,_netdev 0 0
    //192.168.5.102/files /media/fs_files  cifs  credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,noperm,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,_netdev 0 0

    Worked for me. On my system, WICD is now started, the wireless connection is made, and the shares are mounted. Thank you for the help!

    Re: mount error(101): Network is unreachable

    I had this same problem after upgrading to Lucid and as I didn't find a solution, I used the /etc/rc.local script as workaround:
    Code:
    #!/bin/sh 
    #
    # rc.local
    #
    # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
    # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
    # value on error.
    #
    # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
    # bits.
    #
    # By default this script does nothing.
    mount -t cifs -o iocharset=utf8,user=myuser,password=mypwd,rw,uid=myuid,_netdev //server/share /mount/point
    
    exit 0
    Hope this helps

    Re: mount error(101): Network is unreachable

    Hi,

    I'd Like to revive this thread.

    I am getting the error described here even with the _netdev option under ubuntu 10.04

    As renardeau said you can add these to the rc.local file which stops the error.

    My issue is that one of my mounts in my case is used for configs for vairous applications like SABNZBD + Sickbeard and using the rc.local method means that I cant use these applications as services. However the error(101) causes issuses with these applications on boot, as the mount is not available when the services are starting.

    Does anyone have any more suggestions? I am thinking of trying a different version.

    Re: mount error(101): Network is unreachable

    Ok so i have tried this on a few different versions now, 11.10 server and desktop. Both with the same issue. Its really strange.

    For me it means that I have to directly mount a native drive in order to use it as a 'Install disk'. Shame really

    does anyone have any other ideas?
