[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#432511: initscripts: rpc.statd not starting until runlevel 2

[Mark Nipper]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-38
Followup-For: Bug #432511

        Just adding a me too here.  For whatever reason, 2.6.22 seemed
to introduce this new behavior.  I'm running 2.6.22 on my NFS server
while this client (and two others) are both running 2.6.21.5 still.

        Anyway, I'm not sure the proper approach to fixing this.
rpc.statd isn't started until runlevel 2 by S21nfs-common whereas the
NFS mounts themselves take place during the single-user runlevel around
S45mountnfs.sh or S46mountnfs-bootclean.sh.  I don't know the
implications of trying to run nfs-common during the single-user
runlevel, if any.

        As an alternative, issuing 'mount -t nfs -a' in /etc/rc.local
works around this problem of course, but probably isn't the correct
behavior either.
