Tracking an issue with openrc and my system not restarting after a reboot, I've stumbled upon this thread (https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,3052.msg19848.html#msg19848).
As suggested, adding:
rc_need="!netmount"
in /etc/rc.conf fixes my issue.
I'm wondering if having that option in the packaged rc.conf would be a good idea?
Are there downsides?
Yes, people setting up network shares and wonder why they don't get mounted at startup. It's a double-edged sword, really.
Your problem suggests (since you didn't post any other information) that you have active network mounts which become stale as networking shuts down before they're unmounted?
