[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#393532: initscripts: mountnfs in /etc/netword/if-up.d failed with multiple network cards

[Chief O'Cordes]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-20
Severity: important

Hi! 

On my machine I have two network cards and try to nfsmount disks from 
these two networks. Obviously this cannot work because the mountnfs-script 
with a mount -vat nfs is called BEFORE every network card is up! I know that 
is difficult to find out which nfs-mount belongs to which network interface,
so running mountnfs makes sense after ALL network interfaces are up. In the
previous configuration the mounting was done in rcX.d after the (complete)
network was set up properly, so there was no problem!

The other thing is that the mountnfs script should delete 
/var/run/network/mountnfs in the case of ctrl-C or other breaks. This should
solve the problem that you can't rerun the script after a break or even after
a reboot. The result is that no nfs-disks are mounted! This happend to me and
probably other guys. This is really annoying because you can't see any 
problem at all; mount -vat from the command-line is working without any
complain so the admin is irritated and frustrated!!!!

Please fix as soon as possible!
