Subject:    NFS mount not backgrounding if host/network unreachable

Hello!

I found that mount will not go to the background and retry mounting
if mounting a NFS share with the "bg" options set fails with an error 
other than ECONNREFUSED.

Why does BB mount only go to the background in that case?
Is there a specific reason for that?

My problem is, that my machines try to mount a NFS share when they're 
booting up.
If the remote host or the network is unreachable during that time,
mount will fail (which is why I use the bg option) and never retry (bad).

I found this in BusyBox 1.14.4 but it's still present in the current 
snapshot.
The problematic code is at (snapshot) util-linux/mount.c:1580.

Out of my naivety: Shouldn't mount retry in case of *any* error?


Regards,

Andreas
