I'm wondering if this should be
Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs
or only
Required-Start: $remote_fs

The documentation at http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts is not clear about that, but there seem to be a lot of init scripts in /etc/init.d which use "$local_fs $remote_fs" contrary to your proposed "$remote_fs".

Sorry, I must have been blind :-P


Cheers,

The wiki actually explains that $remote_fs implies $local_fs so specifying is not necessary. As a lot of people will copy&paste existing solutions though, maybe it would be a good idea to fix the existing init scripts with "$local_fs $remote_fs". Do you think it would be possible to write a lintian test which covers such common errors.
