Package: initscripts Version: 2.86.ds1-15 Severity: normal The alternative title and severity for this could be: [wishlist] mountall.sh: honour _netdev in /etc/fstab
Anyway, I've started playing with ATA over Ethernet, and of course, this looks just like a normal filesystem, except it's dependent on the network being up. Where mountall.sh currently runs in /etc/rcS.d, the network ain't up, so this mount fails because the block device in question isn't around yet. Fair enough. Someone has kindly pointed out to me that mount supports a '_netdev' as a filesystem mount option, and one can use -O no_netdev as a modifier to mount. So I'm proposing that you add '-O no_netdev' to mountall.sh to allow for passing over such remote block devices at this point of the boot. The next step is to figure out how to mount them in mountnfs.sh, but one thing at a time... regards Andrew -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages initscripts depends on: ii debianutils 2.15.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii e2fsprogs 1.38+1.39-WIP-2005.12.31-1 ext2 file system utilities and lib ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.0-15 Linux Standard Base 3.0 init scrip ii mount 2.12r-6 Tools for mounting and manipulatin initscripts recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
