Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.76-3
Priority: wishlist
I have some machines that have /home mounted by NFS, and sometimes
they get rebooted (both server and clients) ath the same time (maybe
electric failure, although its not too common). The problem is since
server has higher load than clients, clients startup the nfs mount script
before the server has launched any daemon (a race condition).
I do not want the clients to boot if this happens, so I have
fiddled around with the /etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh script, and added some
nice things (I hope I have done it right, at least it seems it works) to
handle "persistent" behavior.
I have attached the resulting script to this mail for your
consideration on including it in the scripts provided by your package
(possibly with the variable that affects this behavior set to 'no' but
thus allowing anyone to set it to yes if they are in dire need of it :)

This bug is being closed as part of a cleanup of the old bug
reports in the sysvinit package, in an attempt to make it easier
to address the bug reports which actually are fixable. Some
reasons:
- Not a bug and/or it's a patch which will not be applied
- It will not be fixed, ever for various reasons
- Problem is not fixable in sysvinit or not our responsibility
- A better solution has become available in the interim
- No activity or submitter response in over a decade or more
