nfs server off & nfs share automounted by systemd -> problems

Hello,

I've had a nas (synology) with nfs shares I used to automount via systemd via this fstab line :

server_ip:/volume1/homes/me/Documents /home/me/Documents  nfs         user,hard,nolock,noauto,comment=systemd.automount,nofail

I thought this automounting would permit to start my arch while the nas if offline, provided I don't try to access /home/me/Documents
But no, it doesn't work well :
* Thunar won't start (more exactly, it will start only when the mount is done)
* 'ls ~'  waits infinitely and does not show anything

I realise this is probably a classic nfs issue but I've had not found the right query to get the solution.

Would you have any idea to solve this problem ?

Regards
Mikael

Pretty sure you need x-systemd.automount there:

Thanks, but I changed my fstab according to this while keeping my nas offline : still the same problem.

systemctl :

home-mikael-Documents.automount                                    loaded active running       home-mikael-Documents.automount
home-mikael-Documents.mount                                        loaded active mounted       /home/mikael/Documents

Try adding intr to your fstab line.
See 4.3.1 here.

Thanks again, but still nothing better.

Re: nfs server off & nfs share automounted by systemd -> problems

I issued this command :

$ cat /proc/mounts

...
systemd-1 /home/mikael/Documents autofs rw,relatime,fd=16,pgrp=1,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct 0 0
...

And after running the following command, things got better (ls works, thunar starts) :
# systemctl stop home-mikael-Documents.automount

Seems like systemd is not compatible with my goals.

Regards,
Mikael
