David, I think that I may have a better solution for mounting aoe based devices. The init script should only handle making the block devices available, like the lvm init script. The init script should therefore come before the S35mountall script. It should ifconfig up the interfaces that are needed. This would make the _netdev hack unneeded and not introduce errors in the fstab mounting. It would also allow stacking lvm or software raid or evms on top of the aoe devices, which your implementation seems to lack. Here is the pseudocode for the init.d script do_start() function.
modprobe aoe sleep 5 # avoid race condition of /dev/etherd being created #optionally make sure /dev/etherd exists like in your script if [ -z "$INTERFACES" ]; then # add all ethernet interfaces to INTERFACES fi #bring up interfaces over which to do aoe for iface in $INTERFACES; do ifconfig $iface up done aoe_interfaces $INTERFACES aoe_discover sleep 5 # avoid race condition of /dev/etherd/e*.* being created Then the mountall init script is able to properly mount the aoe devices. You would also need to modify the lsb headers to not require $local_fs or $network. I have a pretty full implementation of this at work. I will send you the scripts tomorrow.
