[Bug 1445846] [NEW] nm-online returns too early

 

Public bug reported:


I am setting up a totem system which mounts a remote file system at boot and starts an application from it.

I found that randomly the boot fails because the mount fails due to
"Network unreachable" errors.

I made sure the mount unit waits for network-online.target to be rached,
however I found that NetworkManager-wait-online.service returns well
before the IP address has been obtained by DHCP.

This is a cleaned up log extract:
