As I understand it, sysvinit didn't care whether mountall.sh succeeded or failed. So even if a bunch of mounts failed, it went on to boot the system, including everything that wasn't supposed to start until after all file systems were mounted. That meant that some folks have systems that they think are happily booting with sysvinit with a bunch of failing mounts, and, when they switch to systemd, things that declare a dependency on mounted file systems never start because the file systems aren't successfully mounted. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
