Bug 70002

Adding a network mount point creates a cycling stop dependency that becomes visible during shutdown with systemd 207.

I started seeing following message on my journal:

2013-09-30T23:19:23.740+00:00 [ WARNING ] systemd[1]: Breaking ordering cycle by deleting job var-spool-storage-NetworkShare.mount/stop

Steps to reproduce

1) Mount network drive: mount -t cifs -o username=x,password=x //x.x.x.x/video /var/spool/storage/NetworkShare
2) Powercycle with systemctl reboot

Cycle can be seen here:

[root@ /mnt/flash/root]1391# systemctl show -p Before var-spool-storage-NetworkShare.mount
Before=local-fs.target umount.target
[root@ /mnt/flash/root]1391# systemctl show -p Before local-fs.target
Before=sysinit.target journal-flush.service
[root@ /mnt/flash/root]1391# systemctl show -p Before sysinit.target
Before=basic.target dbus.socket sshd.socket rescue.target rescue.service
[root@ /mnt/flash/root]1391# systemctl show -p Before basic.target
Before=rsyslog.service dbus.service sshdgenkeys.service multi-user.target systemd-ask-password-wall.service net@eth0.service
[root@ /mnt/flash/root]1391# systemctl show -p Before net@eth0.service
Before=network.target shutdown.target
[root@ /mnt/flash/root]1391# systemctl show -p Before network.target
Before=multi-user.target var-spool-storage-NetworkShare.mount

I believe the problem is coming from:

src/core/mount.c (mount_add_one) > r = unit_add_dependency_by_name(u, UNIT_BEFORE, SPECIAL_LOCAL_FS_TARGET, NULL, true);
