June 17, 201511 yr I am trying to automatically mount an unraid share in my ubuntu KVM vm via 9p. I can successfully mount it within ubuntu by typing: mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio podcasts /mnt/podcasts -oversion=9p2000.L,posixacl,cache=loose That works great. But when I try to add it to my /etc/fstab so that it will mount automatically, I get an error from ubuntu every time at reboot telling me that the mount has failed, press S to skip. Here's what I have in fstab: podcasts /mnt/podcasts 9p trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,rw 0 0 What am I missing?
June 17, 201511 yr I'm not sure if certain formatting is required in fstab (i.e. tab instead of space before and in between the 0's at the end of your line). See this thread from some examples: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=36348.0 also, I think the _netdev was an important switch. I don't remember why though. John EDIT: Found the info regarding _netdev: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=34686.msg337468#msg337468
June 17, 201511 yr Author Not sure if it was the formatting or the _netdev switch, but it's working now! Thank you (here's my working /etc/fstab entry for anyone that might be interested: podcasts /mnt/podcasts 9p trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,nobootwait,rw,_netdev 0 0
