37 ebegin "Mounting local filesystems" 38 mount -at "$types" $no_netdev 39 eend $? "Some local filesystem failed to mount" Some mechanism to pass -F to mount there would be great. This should probably be explicitly enabled by the system administrator and not done by default. Would have been preferred if there was a max concurrency for -F to mount but it doesn't look like that is possible. Would have to umount quite a number of filesystems to see how mount -F deals with ~80 filesystems to be mounted. Reproducible: Always
For reference, reduces mount -a time from close on 40 minutes to 30 seconds. Not all filesystems we're mounted in this round, but at worst this should take us to ~60s time to mount all filesystems compared to the current 40 minutes.
But here is the kicker: If filesystems have a hierarchy eg: /var /var/lib /var/cache Then the latter could fail. This will need to be fixed in mount itself somehow, recommendation to just leave gentoo as-is, unless someone is willing to put in the work for the mount command, not something I have capacity for. Going to close this as UPSTREAM because it's based on the above a bad idea to do this in current state.
