This was just discussed on the darwin-dev list. Automounter will eventually have a facility for doing what fstab does. There's really no other way to deal with it when you consider USB and FireWire disks, which have no constant physical location.

I had just seen that just after posting... :-)

As for using StartupItems, indeed, the best fix would be to move the dynamic_pager start into a StartupItem, and make it the very first one. Then play with moving the local volume mounts to happen before it.

Yes...

Yes, this means that VM is off when you start SystemStarter. That's not as bad as you might think. Assuming any machine getting that far has at least 64MB (or even 32), it's unlikely that you'll run out of real RAM before you get VM on.

I don't think this is bad to launch SystemStarter before vm... What I think could be bad is to launch VM after SystemStarter in /etc/rc, then after all SartupItems have started...
This could be bad, depending of the number of StartupItems to launch...
