Hello,

after updating a few packages, some init scripts got stuck when starting services (at least mysql and apache). Doing "/etc/init.d/mysql --verbose --debug start" revealed that they got stuck doing "cat /var/lib/init.d/exclusive/netmount". Sounds like something related to nfs, and I had indeed updated some nfs packages, so this probably had something to do with that.

I couldn't find information on what that netmount pipe is or how to fix the problem, but I just removed the pipe and the init scripts started to work again.

Could you tell more about that pipe and how should I have fixed the situation? Will it cause any trouble now that the pipe doesn't exist any more?

Best regards,

Jarno
