Mounting local filesystem on ataraid, and modules.autoload

[Loke]

Qudos to everyone involved in the development of Gentoo! Just installed it, and it looks awesome

Ive set my windows ataraid partitions up in /etc/fstab, and added ataraid and pdcraid to /etc/modules.autoload - but my problem is that the system tried to mount local filesystems before the modules in /etc/modules.autoload is loaded. So the windows partitions doesnt get mounted.

Suggestions what I can do to fix this?

Cheers!

look at /etc/fstab and set the noauto flag which causes the system not to mount the desired partitions at bootup. To get further information try

But I *do* want them to be mounted, its just that the modules needed to mount the array gets loaded by /etc/modules.autoload - and that script is run after mounting of local fs. In fact it even depends on local mount being started before it will "kick in"

Look for yourself in /etc/init.d for files called localmount and modules. And then you'll see what I mean.

Or just hack the localmount script and insmod the appropriate modules before the mount procedure

I still think modules.autoload should be processed before localmount though...
