> I need to see it failing in the log ;-)

That makes sense, but I don't know how to do that.  I tried disabling kdm start 
so I booted into a shell.  I then enabled the /var/tmp line in fstab and ran 
mountall.  In that case it seemed to mount /var/tmp okay, although it did hang. 
 I had to press Ctrl-C to stop it.  But the log showed nothing different, 
except it said /var/tmp was mounted successfully.  A "mount" command confirmed 
that /var/tmp was mounted on tmpfs.  Seemed to get way past that point in the 
log, which ended with the line
  run_swapon: /dev/disk/by-uuid/900b83f8-4962-4652-a865-3d775b3af2ed: already 
activated

So I don't know how to make mountall fail in the log, since it only
seems to fail during boot (presumably when upstart executes it).  I
considered changing the mountall command in /etc/init/mountall.conf and
adding a --debug and redirecting the output to a file, but where can I
write the file?  Aren't all filesystems unmounted at that point?

So I need instructions on the getting log you want.  Thanks for looking
at this.
