> Not true as rcS.d/44 < 19 < 20 Excuse me? That's the point I was trying to make... unless something has prevented nfs-common from firing up its daemons that early, nfs-common should have been started before autofs during normal bootup, obscuring the bug: ] /etc/rcS.d/S44nfs-common ] /etc/rc2.d/S19autofs ] /etc/rc2.d/S20nfs-common leaving only two scenarios: a) rcS.d/S44nfs-common didn't start anything (e.g. no /usr yet) b) a runlevel chain S->[2345]->1-*>[2345] (bug surfaces at the last transition) the latter being in complete analogy to portmap (rcS.d/S43, rc[2345].d/S17) in #400952.
