iscsid can tag targets to be automatically logged in. Applications can use those partitions as resources integral to their startup. In that sense, iscsid mounts need to be available sooner than netmounts. Reproducible: Always The localmount script will mount iscsi provided partitions, but this requires a re-arrangement of the boot time startup. root then modules then net then iscsid then localmount. Note how this pushes localmount way down in the list. This is different. This may be accomplished if: 1) Remove the localmount requirement from net.lo and substitute it with root 2) Add "before localmount" to iscsid dependencies. 3) Relocate iscsid distribution from /usr/sbin to /sbin

I'll revisit this after Roy handle the net.lo stuff. But probably with a USE option to move it to /sbin and update the init.d, NOT doing it by default.
openrc impact here: does net actually need localmount, or can we make do with root?
Here's an alternative solution that I think is worth considering: Let's fix init.d/localmount and init.d/netmount to actually respect the '_netdev' option in /etc/fstab, and then just make init.d/iscsid depend on 'before netmount' This removes the requirement that iscsid be placed in /sbin since we know that /usr is already mounted, and will keep 'localmount' nice and early in the boot order. Changes needed for openrc: localmount Change the line that mounts all local filesystems: mount -at "$types" To exclude any with the '_netdev' option: mount -at "$types" -O no_netdev netmount Right after we actually mount we mount all the types in net_fs_list: mount -at $fs Also tell it to mount anything else that's marked with the '_netdev' option: mount -a -O _netdev (Some more work may be needed for unmounting... I haven't really played with that side of these scripts yet.) Then just add 'before netmount' to init.d/iscsid

The changes requested here have been made as of openrc-0.6.8, as well as adding the command to netmount so that it will unmount any filesystems with _netdev in their options. > Then just add 'before netmount' to init.d/iscsid As soon as you have openrc-0.6.8 you should be able to do this.
What is the status on this bug? The changes for openrc have been made as requested. Is it still an issue for openrc, or can I remove openrc from the cc list?
No longer my package. Have at it people.
I have removed #292894 from the dependencies for this bug, because they are not related after the suggested changes were made.
@Jeff: What's the status of this wrt to the Fedora changes of /usr being mounted by initramfs? I think due to that, it needs to be done in genkernel, which is already supported, so is there anything needed here still? Please reopen if needed.
