There is what I consider a *bug* in Debian,
per default init scripts are executed in the same order in the boot
sequence and the shutdown sequence.
It's appears from time to time in the list, and it's not fixed.
So, instead of:
initialize PCMCIA cards
initialize Network
mount NFS
unmount NFS
deinitialize Network
deinitialize PCMCIA cards
The current situation is :
initialize PCMCIA cards
initialize Network
mount NFS
try to deinitialize PCMCIA cards and barf because the network modules are busy and cannot be unloaded
uninstall network modules without any regards as to what's happening to NFS
Try and unmount NFS drives and cry out that network connection is not available.
... is this fixed?
I think it is a bug of update-rc.d, but changing the default behavior of update-rc.d alone
might break many packages.
