Bug#746587: Use systemd built-in mechanisms for mounting remote file systems like NFS during early boot

[Michael Biebl]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-53
Severity: important
File: /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs
Tags: patch

The /etc/init.d/networking SysV init script provides the $network LSB facility
which is mapped to network.target in systemd.

This SysV init script is run during early boot (rcS) and calls the mountnfs
if-up.d hook which in turn calls /etc/init.d/rpcbind start.

The rpcbind SysV init script though depends on $network itself. This leads
to a dependency loop.

Under systemd, where those dependencies are evaluated during runtime this
results in a dead lock.

Since systemd has builtin support for mounting remote files systems, we
simply skip this hook during early.

Eventually, we should make rpcbind socket activate to break this
dependency loop, but for now this workaround will do.

As this currently breaks setups where systemd is used in combination
with NFS, we would appreciate if you can apply the attached patch in
your next upload as soon as possible.

Cheers,
Michael
