It is currently not possible to list loopback NFS mounts in /etc/fstab without noauto, because mountcritremote runs before mountd has started; mountd depends on nfsserver, rpcbind and quota, which all depend on mountcritremote (presumably because nfsd, rpcbind and quotaon all reside in /usr/sbin, which might be on a remote file system)
The file systems which I mount over loopback NFS are not critical, and can safely be mounted later in the boot process, but we don't have a "mountnoncrit" script, or any way to indicate in fstab that a file system is non-critical.
In many ways a mountnoncrit would be the best solution, but that would would require some significant work since we'd probably need to add an extra fields to fstab (though it might be feasible to have a list of critical file systems and try to mount them explicitly instead). A small bit of additional care would be needed to insure that early_late_divider was set correctly in either case.
Yeah, pondered adding a mountlatelocal script and a 'late' option to mount/fstab when i was working on mdconfig{,2} script. I figured it was easier to handle fsck/mount in those scripts in the end (because I couldn't see any other consumer for such a script).
In that case, that seems a good choice.
