After upgrading to openrc-0.8.1, I've noticed the boot process was being bogged down by some circular dependencies. I was able to trace the breakage back to this particular change in net.lo: --- /etc/init.d/net.lo-0.8.0 2011-04-15 13:17:37.498892534 +0200 +++ /etc/init.d/net.lo-0.8.1 2011-04-15 13:17:43.000000000 +0200 @@ -18,14 +18,12 @@ local IFACE=${RC_SVCNAME#*.} local IFVAR=$(shell_var "${IFACE}") - need localmount - after bootmisc provide net keyword -jail -prefix -vserver case "${IFACE}" in - lo|lo0);; - *) after net.lo net.lo0;; + lo|lo0) before mtab ; need root ;; + *) after bootmisc net.lo net.lo0 ; need localmount ;; esac if [ "$(command -v "depend_${IFVAR}")" = "depend_${IFVAR}" ]; then Downgrading or reverting said change in net.lo fixes the issue.
