IOW, what is in the [snip] part? Enough output is available in the quotes. "Mounting local filesystems" is in rc.sysinit. "Mounting other filesystems" is in netfs service script. The former does: action $"Mounting local filesystems: " mount -a -t nonfs,nfs4,smbfs,ncpfs,cifs,gfs,gfs2 -O no_netdev The latter does: action $"Mounting other filesystems: " mount -a -t nonfs,nfs4,cifs,ncpfs,gfs So, both mount iso9660 file-systems, and unlike other types of mounts, iso9660 prints that ugly warning. You can run those mount -a ... lines manually for testing. The work-around I've used is to mount them with option _netdev added in fstab. That mounts iso9660 within the netfs service script, which is not exactly right here, but good enough and an alternative to doing it manually in rc.local -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
