Even on diskless workstations and thin clients using LTSP? It is the use case I know about, but it is years since I tracked its status, so I do not know if it is still an issue there. > Another issue is that definition of $remote_fs is *all* file systems are > mounted.

I can not confirm the list, but yes, every script in rcS.d/ depending on $remote_fs will have to move to (2 3 4 5). Traditionally (as in Solaris/SysV systems) mounting /usr/ was done in rc[2345].d/, but this was for some strange reason never done in Debian. I tried to move $remote_fs there, but ran out of steem before I managed to convince enough maintainers to do the switch. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
