Package: discover
Version: 2.0.7-2.1
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

In the current state of Debian Sarge distribution discover has boot priority 
number 36 - in the boot sequence the package is started after the lvm 
(vgscan) and mountall programs, making some disk partitions unaccessible (if 
use of these partitions depends on discover,  lvm and mountall or some their 
combination).

Typical case:

1. During the installation with new Debian installer package discover founds 
some disk drive and allow the user to format this drive and use some of their 
partitions (with or without LVM).

2. After the reboot newly installed system can't mount all entries 
in /etc/fstab - some of them are not yet accesible, because discover follows 
after mountall in boot sequence. 

If the boot priority is changed to 23 or 24, the drivers for the disk
devices will be activated before lvm and mountall. This is possible if 
discover uses only files and subdirectories, accesible in single user mode.
