Sure, I can get the nofail support in pretty quick, and I think that is |
| 6 |
a feature we should have. |

Right now, netmount is using the use dependency to make sure network |
| 9 |
file system utilities are started before us. Because of the |
| 10 |
all-or-nothing nature of netmount, we can't switch those dependencies to |
| 11 |
need. It would cause netmount to fail if one of those utilities fails to |
| 12 |
start. The use dependency is the best one we can use at this time, and a |
| 13 |
migration path was specifically laid out in the news item. |

The complaint in the original bug [1] is that that is not good enough |
| 16 |
because it requires you to add nfsclient to your runlevels along with |
| 17 |
netmount, and he wants to auto start nfsclient without it being in the |
| 18 |
runlevels. |

The want dependency is a feature I don't have a problem with (it will |
| 21 |
take some work to figure it out because it is in the C portion of |
| 22 |
OpenRC), but I'm just hesitant about applying it to something like |
| 23 |
network file system clients. |

Thoughts? |
