There's no universal solution for how to arrange your /etc/rc. We've come to this conclusion previously. Some people need to mount NFS file systems early (but then, they do not crossmount), since crucial parts of the rc like syslogd should be started before, and are mounted remotely (or /var might be NFS like in a diskless setup). Other people have other preferences. > write to, or document root is missing).

People cross-mounting are 1) insane :-)), and 2) advised to use amd instead. This discussion is neverending, we cannot cat any consent on this i believe. I therefore vote to close the PR if 10 other rounds of discussion come up without consensus, or if the discussion starves. The originator does already know how he can prevent the problem, and we cannot save _any_ people's problems universally. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
