Thanks,

I've seen your post and it did not help directly, but it certainly shows where
the problem lies. I found out that an usb drive will not mount if you put it in
mountall.sh simply because it is not ready at that time. My problem is that I
have other services which need the usb drive to be mounted. If they do not find
it, they do not start at all, or they start but log to /var/log/ instead of the
external drive I configured. That also has as a consequence that the cf drive
does not mount ro. But I'll try again: it's certainly a matter of reordering the
services in the rcX.d folders - they don't seem to be in an optimized loading
order. As a last chance, I found that putting the script (or link) into rc.local
will work - that's the last one executed before login.

Too bad that voyage is poorly documented...and even this forum is not exactly a
nice one: my message showed an empty page for more than a day before magically
appearing (seems a bad caching issue).
