What is done instead is to let mount do it itself using the -a option. Network mounts are excluded the first time it is run. I believe the script that handles this is in initrd now. mount -a [-t type] [-O optlist] (usually given in a bootscript) causes all file systems mentioned in fstab (of the proper type and/or having or not having the proper options) to be mounted as indicated, except for those whose line contains the noauto keyword. Adding the -F option will make mount fork, so that the filesystems are mounted simultaneously. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
