[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#735930: initscripts: if-up.d/mountnfs fails to mount anything if /etc/fstab.d contains one or more .fstab files

[Rolf W. Rasmussen]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-41+deb7u1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

After creating a fstab file /etc/fstab.d/nell.fstab I see that
/etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs no longer mounts NFS file systems entries from
neither the original /etc/fstab file, nor from the new /etc/fstab.d/nell.fstab.

Running the script with "sh -x" reveals that the following conditional fails:

    + [ -f /etc/fstab
    /etc/fstab.d/nell.fstab ]

The script is checking for the existance of a single file named
"/etc/fstab\n/etc/fstab.d/nell.fstab" instead of checking for the two
individual files "/etc/fstab" and "/etc/fstab.d/nell.fstab".

Removing the quotes in the

    for file in "$(eval ls $(fstab_files))"; do

line above appears to solve the problem. After removing the quotes and
taking down the network and bringing it up again, the NFS entry in
/etc/fstab is mounted as expected.
