Question Regarding mounting a drive and running a software
Hello;
Whenever I reboot a system which one takes precedence; mounting the drives or running the init.d scripts
Here is my situation:
Every time I boot my system, I need to mount a RAID10 drive and run a software whose config files are on the RAID10 drive
I want the software to only start after checking if the mount has been mounted successfully
I have the following code in my init script
My question?
Do i really have to use this if condition in my init script; What is the actual precedence of mounting drives and kicking off init scripts?
BTW, I have the mount point registered in /etc/fstab.
Disk mounting is given priority unless a partition in /etc/fstab is specifically marked as something to not mount, via the 'noauto' option. If a partition can't mount, that's considered a sufficient reason to stop the boot process.
It is, however, perfectly fine -- even reccomended -- to check that key files are in the correct places inside an init script. It doesn't need to be elaborate.
Sorry I posted it in wrong forum first.
