I honestly don't think thats going to shorten your boot time more than a second, and i can't remember what exactly netmount is, but i think it is related to the status of your net.eth0. That and your using an amd64 bit gentoo, dont know what could make your boot faster, um better processor? more ram? How long does your boot normally take? Because yes not mounting any file systems is a nice jump, but other than that I think you're fine.
Hi,
I am just trying to shorten the booting time of my machine.
rc-status gives me the following output:
# rc-status
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
Runlevel: default
xdm [ started ]
ntp-client [ started ]
local [ started ]
net.eth0 [ started &nb! sp;]
netmount [ started ]
alsasound [ started ]
I don't mount any network filesystems at bootup time, here is my /etc/fstab:
#################/etc/fstab###################
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda2 / reiserfs noatime,rw 0 1
/dev/sda6 /home reiserfs noatime,rw 0 1
/dev/sda7 /dat1 reiserfs noatime,rw 0 0
/dev/sda8 /dat2 xfs noatime,rw 0 0
/dev/sda10 /mp3 vfat noatime,rw 0 0
/dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0

192.168.65.12:/data0 /shfsdata shfs noauto,user 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
#########################################
can I safely remove netmount from runlevel "default"?
and what exactly is in "local"?
