Are there any objective guidelines for setting the > chkconfig parms? It's just a matter of "if A depends on B, a boot should start B before trying to start A" - i.e., common sense. The best order can depend on the installation - if NFS is run over an OpenVPN tunnel, you want OpenVPN first, but if the OpenVPN config references an NFS-mounted file, you want NFS first. The latter seems unlikely (and is just asking for trouble). NFS across a tunnel is probably much more likely, so having OpenVPN start first is probably the better default. I use both OpenVPN and NFS a lot, including NFS across an OpenVPN tunnel, but I would not make an NFS mount across any kind of tunnel part of my boot procedure, so I don't worry about the boot order. My home and office systems use automount to mount each other. -- Dick St.Peters, stpeters@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Gatekeeper, NetHeaven, Saratoga Springs, NY |
