Ah, so I was under a misapprehension then. This is probably due to issues in earlier Debian releases (i.e. the issues relating to Gnome3 under Bullseye on https://wiki.debian.org/Init ). It's possible the *actual* issue I'm running into is that the if-up.d script being named `mountnfs` causes a mistaken checking about `init.d/mountnfs.sh` ? It was certainly a surprise to find that an if-up.d script was bailing due to the status of a systemd-ised init.d/ script. Or is it simply that no-one had thought to ensure a systemd-init system had a working method of invoking NFS mounts after ifup brings an interface up ? -- - Athanasius (he/him) = Athanasius(at)miggy.org / https://miggy.org/ GPG/PGP Key: https://miggy.org/gpg-key "And it's me who is my enemy.
