Description Alex 2003-09-02 22:15:28 UTC
It seems to me that localmount should do something like

ebegin "Mounting local filesystems"
mount / -o remount
mount -at nocoda,nonfs ............(etc,etc)
eend $? "Some local filesystem failed"

This would allow parameters for / in /etc/fstab to actually take effect (rather
than putting them in the kernel).

I noticed this when I tried to get quotas to work on /.  mount -a won't remount
an already mounted filesystem even if it is mounted with different parameters
than what is in fstab.

1) Its done in checkroot

2) Dont you think quota rc-script (if any), should do this
   if it needs it rather than for everybody ?
