[...] All filesystems listed in /etc/fstab should be mounted even in single- user mode. If any of those are mounted over NFS, rpc.statd and portmap or rpcbind must be started. Additional daemons may be required for multi-user access; those are installed in /usr. And so it may be necessary to run nfs-common a second time, when those daemons are available. *However*, all of these daemons (except the obsolete portmap) are now linked to libtirpc, which is currently installed in /usr. So this doesn't work right now. I suppose we should split the init script, assuming that people stuck in the 90s continue to insist that separate /usr must be supported.
