Thread: FTP shares won't mount on startup [Curlftpfs]

i have set nas device (a wd mybook live) backup device parents' computers. connects 3 other computers running ubuntu 11.10 on wired network, connected using thompson speedtouch 546 router/switch.

mybook live has nfs support, found unreliable in practice, and, in end, not connect using nfs @ all. looking @ wd's forums, seems not support nfs option @ all.

does, however, support ftp. using curlftpfs, able connect computers' backup folders transparently if running nfs. deja dup backup ran smoothly, , transfer speed impressively fast.

however, on turning computers on again in morning, fail connect /backup mount when first starting up, giving error message being unable mount /backup, asking whether want skip mounting or go recovery console.

if go recovery console , try sudo mount -a, fails mount anything, network unreachable. can confirm failing ping other loopback interface. if skip mounting, log in , go terminal , type sudo mount -a, mounting works every time. specific curlftpfs mounts, however, other nfs mounts (to computer on network) work on startup without difficulty.

relevant lines of /etc/fstab file are:

code:

192.168.1.65:/   /mnt   nfs4    _netdev,auto  0  0 curlftpfs#mounter:*******@mybooklive/public /backup fuse auto,user,uid=1000,allow_other 0 0

i have checked, , replacing "mybooklive" name unit's local ip address (192.168.1.67) produces same result. computer on 192.168.1.65 mounts using nfs without difficulty on startup.

missing something? need add line configuration file somewhere telling curlftpfs load sooner in bootstrap process, perhaps? assistance appreciated.
