Mounting file system only for particular runlevels

destroyedlolo

Hello,

Is it a smart way to mount some file system only for a particular runlevel ?

The story behind is I'm running Gentoo in VirtualBox on my professional PC, and I may or not launch a webserver.
So,

in default runlevel, I don't start a webserver so /web mustn't be mounted
in webserver runlevel, I would like to mount /web and to start apache.

For the moment, I've created an init.d script only linked with webserver runlevel, but I wonder if there is any smartest way :wink:

Thanks

Laurent

Another way would be to create an init.d script and then make it a depdency of your webserver's init.d script.

For example, if your script to mount /web is named /etc/init.d/mount_web, then in your webserver's init script you could add a "need" statement to the dependencies:

Put "[Solved]" in the threat title.

My question was to know if there is a smart way.

Is any smarter way ?

Yes. The smarter way is for you to study rc systems and figure it out for yourself.
