The only way we can support this nowadays is with the full async userspace model. No initscript solution will work well, the border conditions will ensure it will break here and there (for a LOT of heres and theres...), and it is the wrong approach to solve the problem anyway, as it would be limited to coldboot. So, for Etch/sid, that means udev rules. And if any udev rule for this is to use /etc/fstab, I'd say it must require UUID-based fstab entries, or something else equally robust. And if we are going to start working on this, I'd create a taskforce, because it is something with the potential for a lot of breakage, and we need to learn from what other distros did. > bug can't be fixed by the initscripts package, if the problem is that > the init.d scripts loading kernel modules are running too late. Correct. And the BIG problem is that even reshuffling this won't fix the issue after the boot is done. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
