A trivial example is $remote_fs isn't satisfied until /srv/somewhere is mounted and /srv/somewhere comes off iscsi, which means it requires networking to be up, which means network drivers loaded, etc. So the event «network driver loaded» causes ifup to be spawned, which causes $network to be satisfied which causes the iscsi daemons to be started which causes mount to be called. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
