           Summary: local fs mount times out for loop-mounted filesystem
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.4
           Version: Final
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Basesystem
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com
        ReportedBy: volker3204@paradise.net.nz

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.6; Linux) KHTML/4.6.0
(like Gecko) SUSE

The boot process gets stuck for 30 (40?) seconds trying to mount a local
file-system, increasing boot time by that much.

System configuration:
/dev/md0             /                    reiserfs   ...
/dev/md1             /home                reiserfs   ...

/dev/sda6 /local/data  reiserfs  ...

/local/data/backup.ext2 /local/lastbackup  auto  loop,defaults,ro,auto

Booting is stuck on mounting backup.ext2 until timeout occurs.

At a guess, boot.localfs fails to notice that the backup.ext2 file is located
on a filesystem that is not yet mounted, hence attempting to mount it can not
succeed.

Used to work fine on oS 11.1.

A similar problem for shutdown also prevents clean shutdown (although this is
not the only problem preventing clean shutdowns).
Neither /dev/sda6 nor /dev/md0 are unmounted during shutdown.
/dev/md0 can't be unmounted because it has the mount point for a file from
/dv/sda6, /dev/sda6 can't be un-mounted because one of its files remains in
use.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create system file-system config as detailed.
2. Reboot.
3. Watch boot screen.

Expected Results:  
Mount file-systems in correct order at boot time.
Un-mount file-systems in correct order during shutdown.
