I'm not sure, but I believe you can count on /etc always being available (although possibly read-only). For /var, you need to depend on $local_fs. For /opt, I would depend on $remote_fs. > Also, right after the init system starts, neither /proc, nor /dev, nor > /sys are there, right?

Those that don't should almost always depend on $local_fs. Init scripts depending on neither are probably being maintained by the boot system maintainers, who know exactly what the sequencing is. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
