(putting aside the removal of the openrc net-fs list and the need to require -all- network mounts to need _netdev in /etc/fstab for a while ) When did you last check busybox? Indications seem to be that busybox has received this support a few versions ago. My quick 'busybox mount -v -a -O _netdev ; busybox mount -v -a -O no_netdev' seems to indicate it's supported fine with current stable busybox. So i think this removal can just be rolled back as it's based on obsolete knowledge. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iF4EAREIAAYFAlYNnhcACgkQAJxUfCtlWe20FgD/cm5XssPiKgEoeeCduASjv7Dh MSq4muIlZKCXgygqFkAA/RQBBwaTe1SxB4eVy3BGm+HVfJxml4pecoI2YNNWugRG =dG6F -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
