Package: base Severity: important When using iSCSI devices with multipathd, the open-iscsi boot script is started before multipathd, hence the system tries to mount _netdev devices before multipath is up-and-running. Thus my iSCSI devices are not mounted at boot time and need thus be mounted manualy, which is not a handy thing to do for /home
I created a new script called /etc/init.d/mountnetdev, which can be run with start|stop to mount/umount all _netdev devices or one can use the stop with a subsystem to stop only part of the mounts. One important note: the script is in a very early stage, and still requires bash since dash does not support ${var:x:y}. In the open-iscsi script I replaced umountiscsi.sh with: mountnetdev stop iscsi In /etc/rc2.d I created a symlink S23z-mountnetdev so the script is started at boot after all _netdev required daemons are started. Hope this helps to make Debian an even better distro.
