Colin-
Here's my analysis:
When we rsync with debian open-iscsi for jaunty, there will be some significant
improvements in terms of the boot procedures, including a blip of code in the
init script that says:
log_daemon_msg "Mounting network filesystems"
MOUNT_RESULT=1
if mount -a -O _netdev >/dev/null 2>&1; then
MOUNT_RESULT=0
break
fi
log_end_msg $MOUNT_RESULT
Since we don't have that conditional "mount all netdev filesystems" in
Intrepid, I don't think we'd see any immediate benefit of this change.
However, it could help on upgrades from Intrepid to Jaunty, in that the
option would already be in place.
On the other hand, I'm not sure of any other consequences of adding
"_netdev" to the /etc/fstab entry, or if there might be "mount -a -O
_netdev" calls lurking about elsewhere in our init processes.
My initial reaction would be that this is too much of a change for
Intrepid at this point. And that we could handle this at upgrade time
with some code that examines /etc/fstab, looking for netdev iscsi
devices and adds the netdev option at that time.
