Could you expand more on: "mount groups", what is this?. Thanks!.

I would consider setting up mount groups. Then mount the first level
followed by the second level, rather than a mount all. This will
eliminate the need to have the /etc/filesystem file in any specific
order.

Subject: importvg & /etc/filesystems

Hello,
during a failover exercise I ran an exportvg/importvg
to move disk VGs between machines and back again. All
worked fine.
However, we hit a problem whereby the importvg brought
the filesystems back into /etc/filesystems in a
different order. As we happen to have mount points
below mount points, a "mount all" caused the lowest
mount points to be unavailable.
I realise it's not recommended to have these mount
points, and/or I can re-edit the /etc/filesystems
afterwards, and/or I can mount them explicitly. My
question is - if I want it to be more automatic,
anyone know of a way to control the order they are
loaded back into /etc/filesystems ? (or has anyone
dealt with this before)
Cheers,
A
