Hi Peter, I've forgotten my login for the bug tracking system on launchpad, but wanted to respond to you as I've been thinking and testing along similar lines...
Only hours ago, I thought of trying the same thing on 9.04 that you just tried on 9.10. At the moment I'm stuck on 9.04 since that is the supported version for ColdFusion 9. We use iSCSI volumes for webfiles, and need for apache to be able to see the volumes automatically at boot time. Also, I would like to see iSCSI volumes unmounted and logged off cleanly at shutdown. That's why I considered these earlier: the proper shutdown sequence should be umount -> open-iscsi stop -> networking stop. For startup, I achieved the goal without changing any of the rc script orders by simply adding the following to rc.local: mount -a -O _netdev /etc/init.d/apache2 reload This since the iSCSI targets are eventually mounted during the boot process, even though they fail when attempting to mount before networking. Not sure why they succeed later, but the behavior is consistent. Mounting volumes that have the _netdev option works from rc.local, then apache can see the filesystems and reloads successfully. Not sure about shutdown, but I'll play with that more after the holidays on my dev server... Sorry that I couldn't put this in the official thread, but wanted you to have my feedback as I'm following your updates.
