[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#485659: initscripts: Non-NFS network filesystems are not mounted on boot

[Ben Smith]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-38
Severity: important


The /etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh init script does not call 
/etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs by default if the 
ASYNCMOUNTNFS variable is not set in /etc/default/rcS.  This variable is not 
present on either etch or testing (2.86.ds1-56).  This means that 
the system fails to mount non-NFS network filesystems (smbfs, cifs, etc) in 
/etc/fstab at boot.

Setting the variable to "no" in /etc/default/rcS fixes the problem.  But this 
fix is not optimal since mounting non-NFS filesystems should not be dependent 
upon an option variable for NFS filesystems.
