netfs init script on RHEL 5 and 6 always mounts netdev devices after NFS devices
Issue
-
When the system reboots, the NFS devices are mounted before the
_netdevdevices and a umount/remount of the NFS devices is required to ensure the desired mount sequence.Example
/etc/fstabentries:
/dev/vg1/vol /mnt ext3 _netdev 1 2
nfs-server:/nfsexport /mnt/nfsmount nfs defaults 0 0
- If there is an interdependency between mount points, e.g. mounting an NFS device in a sub directory of a
_netdevdevice's filesystem hierarchy, this results in the undesirable situation where the NFS device is mounted before the_netdevdevice.
