Do I need to sort the entries in fstab in the desired mount order in RHEL 5 and 6?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • When creating a vxfs filesystem with a dependency mount point, do I need to sort them correctly inside fstab or will Linux do it by itself (mount filesystem in the correct order):

    /dev/vx/dsk/local-dg/webserver /webserver       vxfs    _netdev    1 2
/dev/vx/dsk/local-dg/webserver_logs /webserver/logs     vxfs    _netdev    1 2
/dev/vx/dsk/local-dg/webserver_logs_RDF /webserver/logs/RDF     vxfs    _netdev    1 2
