Well, now i still have the problem as i originally described it - a
'sometimes' problem that seems to be related to the time it takes the
disk to 'wake up.'
AFTER booting doing '/etc/init.d/mountall.sh start' works fine, so that
script is fine now.
If i reboot the system such that it is starting up with the disk already
'awake' it mounts fine.

After digging around in the scripts in /etc/init.d i found this in
mountall.sh:
#
# Mount local file systems in /etc/fstab.
#
mount_all_local() {
mount -a -t
nonfs,nfs4,smbfs,cifs,ncp,ncpfs,coda,ocfs2,gfs,gfs2 -O no_netdev
}
Now that function is supposed to mount all local filesystems?? But it
will only mount the ones of the specified types, and the list omits
common types like ext2 and ext3 (my problem partitions being ext3).
So i modified that section to look like this:
#
# Mount local file systems in /etc/fstab.
#
mount_all_local() {
mount -a -O no_netdev
}
... and my problem is solved.
Am i overlooking something here - is there a downside to my fix?? I
don't understand why the filesystem types were explicitly listed in
the first place??
