Exactly my thoughts. We used -O _netdev within the 'netmount' |
| 31 |
script to identify which fstab entries are network mounts. But we |
| 32 |
did it a different way prior to using -O _netdev. And since this |
| 33 |
isn't actually related in any way to something end-users can set in |
| 34 |
fstab (it has to do with the filesystem type itself) I don't see the |
| 35 |
point in worrying end-users about it. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I suppose it's worthwhile to note to busybox users that they no |
| 38 |
longer have to use alternate means of netmounting, as 'netmount' |
| 39 |
will now work on busybox...? |

Perhaps: |

| 43 |
Also, we are dropping the use of the -O switch for mount/umount -a, |
| 44 |
to ensure the localmount and netmount scripts are compatible with |
| 45 |
busybox mount. If your system uses busybox mount please migrate any |
| 46 |
custom workarounds you may have to the openrc localmount/netmount |
| 47 |
services. |
