Near as I can tell from reading the documentation and the init.d file for netmount, if there is an nfs mountpoint in /etc/fstab, it will need portmap, which should trigger portmap to be started, right? On my system, at least, this doesn't happen. I have both portmap and netmount on a custom runlevel called 'docked'. It starts netmount, then portmap, so my NFS partitions don't get mounted. If I restart netmount, it does mount the NFS partitions. This is kindof annoying, as it means manually restarting a service in order to get everything working right.
can you please post your /etc/init.d/netmount as an attachment
Created attachment 6411 [details] My netmount script Here's my /etc/init.d/netmount. Should be standard. I had made some changes to try and diagnose the problem, but I think I reverted them all.
What version binutils ? Please attach your /mnt/.init.d/depcache.
Created attachment 6433 [details] /mnt/.init.d/depcache Sure thing, here it is. My installed binutils version is 2.13.90.0.16
Err, sorry, what version baselayout ? This should be fixed in baselayout-1.8.5.4 (using rc-scripts-1.4.2.4). Here is the ChangeLog entry for rc-scripts: 25 Nov 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: One liner fix to src/awk/cachedepends.awk to once again fix bug #7803.
Does 1.8.5.4 or 1.8.5.5 fix this for you ?
Ah, I'm running with 1.8.5.3. emerge also claims this is the latest version available, have the newer versions not been determined to be stable?
I bumped 1.8.5.5 to stable, please update, and it should be fixed for you, thanks.
