[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#405622: initscripts: /etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh fails to detect mounted files.

[John Darrington]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-36
Severity: important


/etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh waits until all entries from /etc/fstab have been
succesfully mounted.  However, if one of these is a file, rather than a directory, 
then it fails to detect that it is in fact mounted.  Thus, there is an annoying
90 second delay on boot up, followed by an error message,  even though there is 
nothing wrong. 

There needs to be a more robust way to detect successfull mounts.
