[gentoo-user] netmount vs. nfsmount

[Dan Johansson]

Hi,

I have noticed that I have two init scripts for mounting NFS filesystems, 
netmount from sys-apps/openrc and nfsmount from net-fs/nfs-utils.
At the moment I have both of them in my default bootlevel but I think that 
just one of them would be enough, am I right?
And if so, which one should I choose (which is more up to date). I am mainly 
using NFSv4.

Regards,

netmount explicitly refers to nfsmount by name in start(), checking if
nfsmount has done it's thing then taking appropriate action. netmount
comes from openrc which is rather new and had a large overhaul before
finally being released.

This implies it's a deliberate action by the devs to have both there.
