Being a Suse then OpenSuse user since 1998 I have been wanting to try Slow Roll. I decided to volunteer my diagnostic machine for this trial. Install went very smoothly. Even installing the Nvidia drivers. Best install experience yet.
Now for the issue. After the install and a couple of successful reboots I created mount points for my NAS Server. I then added them into fstab and successfully mounted them. I thought done and moved on. After a reboot the machine failed the boot sequence at the point it tried and failed to mount my NAS server. After much log review and thought I checked my IP address to make sure it was the same (security on the NAS) and discovered at this point in the boot sequence there was no IP address and the network was down.
I edited the fstab commenting out my NAS entries and rebooted successfully into the session with the network up. I removed the hash tag from the NAS entries and again was able to mount my NAS. I then changed the fstab NAS entries from default to rw,noauto and rebooted. Again a successful reboot and again was able to mount my NAS when the boot was completed. To mount I use the mount command “mount /mnt/directory name”.
It appears to me the Network is not activated in the boot sequence until after mounting the fstab entries. First time I have had this issue. Is this the case? If so, it really needs to get changed back.
