-l means to limit the the action to the local filesystems, some entries in the /etc/vfstab file could be remotely mounting filesystems.
So mountall will mount local and remote filesystems setup in the /etc/vfstab file whilst mountall -l will only mount the local filesystems.
Could be you store the application databases on a remote server. By using the mountall -l on boot up the databases will not be there.
any clearer?

NAME
mounting - event signalling that a filesystem is mounting
SYNOPSIS
mounting DEVICE=DEVICE MOUNTPOINT=MOUNTPOINT TYPE=TYPE OPTIONS=OPTIONS [ENV]...
DESCRIPTION
The mounting event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon when it is about to mount a filesystem. mountall(8) will wait for all services
started by this event to be running, all tasks started by this event to have finished and all jobs stopped by this event to be stopped
before proceeding with mounting the filesystem.
The DEVICE, MOUNTPOINT, TYPE and OPTIONS environment variables contain the values of the fstab(5) fields for this mountpoint.
EXAMPLE
A tool that should be run before mounting the /var filesystem might use:
start on mounting MOUNTPOINT=/var
task
