On one of my older OpenRC ruunning systems, there are quite some "mount<something>" items listed: […] mountall-bootclean.sh | sysinit mountall.sh | sysinit mountdevsubfs.sh | sysinit mountkernfs.sh | sysinit mountnfs-bootclean.sh | sysinit mountnfs.sh | sysinit […] Both machines are running Unstable and have sysvinit-core and e.g. initscripts at version 2.88dsf-59.10, but the newly installed one is amd64 with UEFI while the old one is i386 with classic BIOS. Not sure if that should make a difference. > /etc/init.d/mountall.sh from initscripts is called by OpenRC by default > to handle /etc/fstab. > > Confirmation check: if you execute `invoke-rc.d mountall.sh start` > instead of `mount -a`, does it work as well? Yes. And then even swap is activated: # invoke-rc.d mountall.sh start [ ok ] Mounting local filesystems...done. [ ok ] Activating swapfile swap...done. # So it looks like for some reason some of the mounting-related services are not known and run at all.
