[Bug 964207] [NEW] Hanging mountall stops boot process

[Nikolaus Rath]

Public bug reported:

One of my Lucid systems stopped booting. If I interpret the "initctl
list" output correctly (attached) the system is waiting for mountall to
complete.

mountall, however, seems just stuck doing nothing. I added --verbose to
/etc/init/mountall.conf and redirected the output into a file (attached
as well).

If I execute another "mountall --verbose", this one seems to complete
and the system continues booting. I have attached the output of this
second run as well.
