Package: nfs-common Version: 1.0.8-8 Severity: wishlist
To be able to check boot script order, and also to be able to start boot scripts in parallel, it is important to know the dependencies of the various boot scripts. The Linux Software Base specifies a init.d header file format useful for this purpose, and adding such header to the nfs-common init.d script would make it possible to use this information to check the current sequence and speed up the debian boot. This work is in progress as part of "Improving the debian boot" in <URL:http://initscripts-ng.alioth.debian.org/soc2006-bootsystem/>. <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts> explains how to make an LSB-compliant script with Debian. The main issue is to know which scripts must executed before nfs-common starts (Required-Start). Besides, which scripts should be executed before if installed (Should-Start). The following is an example of how it should look like: ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provies: nfs-common # Required-Start: $remote_fs scripts-needed # Required-Stop: $remote_fs scripts-needed # Should-Start: scripts-needed-that-may-not-be-installed # Should-Stop: scripts-needed-that-may-not-be-installed # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: NFS support files common to client and server # Description: NFS is a popular protocol for file sharing across # TCP/IP networks. This service provides NFS file # locking functionality. ### END INIT INFO I am using Debian GNU/Linux Unstable, kernel 2.6.16-2-486 cheers, Carlos Villegas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
