Output of mountall.sh is wrong/useless

[Dominic Sacré]

The output of mountall.sh at boot is not what it should be.

The line "Mounting local filesystems" is not printed unless $VERBOSE is set. This is wrong in my opinion, as mounting filesystems can be a lengthy process, and it may not be clear to the user what the computer is doing.

After this, the first line of output from mount -av is printed, I really can't figure out what the purpose of this is. On my machine the output is (/dev/sdb6 on /home type xfs (rw))..., which doesn't belong there, and kind of disrupts the otherwise very clean boot process.

This happens on every Dapper setup I've seen.

Good catch, corrected.

Thanks. Would it be possible to print "Mounting local filesystems" without $VERBOSE, too? I've seen mount -a take as long as 15 seconds (on an older machine with multiple large reiserfs partitions), so some feedback to the user might be a good idea.
