Neither netmount nor avahi-daemon specify an order in which they should be started, and so rc calculates that netmount should start first. This causes netmount to fail if you're using avahi (with nss-mdns) to identify hosts by name in /etc/fstab. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Add netmount and avahi-daemon to the same runlevel. (To see netmount fail, set up nss-mdns and add an NFS mount to /etc/fstab using its hostname instead of IP.) Actual Results: netmount starts before avahi-daemon, meaning it cannot resolve hostnames via mdns. Expected Results: avahi-daemon should have "before netmount", or netmount should have "use avahi-daemon". Either of these will fix the problem.
0.6.21 has an updated init script, that now has a "before netmount" dependency. Thanks!
