[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#578247: mountnfs spams at bootup: if-up.d/mountnfs[foo]: waiting for interface bar before doing NFS mounts

[Michael Tokarev]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.87dsf-10
Severity: minor

That message gets printed during boot each numerous times,
at least as many as there are interfaces configured in
/etc/network/interfaces.  This clutters up the boot logs
etc with useless information.

I found quite a few references on the 'net to this issue,
and the solution suggested is to chmod -x the mountnfs
script in /etc/network/if-up.d/.  Obviously this is not
a good solution, and even when it helps with the case
when there are actually _no_ nfs (or network) mounts
used on the system (many of our systems don't use any
networking mounts yet that message is printed anyway),
when nfs is actually in use such "fix" will lead to
non-working nfs mounts.  Which don't work anyway, see
my other email.

Thanks!
