friends, |
2 |
|
3 |
has anybody else come across the problem updating their initscripts and |
4 |
breaking network booting in the last few months? |
5 |
|
6 |
right when checkroot says "Remounting root filesystem read/write..." |
7 |
the system hangs, and eventually init says it couldn't be mounted |
8 |
read/write and frowns, and suggests I give the root password or |
9 |
reboot. |
10 |
|
11 |
I've tracked down the problem. Seems as though statd can't start |
12 |
because the root filesystem is mounted read-only, but the filesystem |
13 |
can't be mounted read-write until statd starts. I have not been able |
14 |
to convince statd to run without logging its pid in /var; thus it |
15 |
requires write access to var. |
16 |
|
17 |
The only workaround I've concocted so far is to bind a bit of /dev over |
18 |
to /var, where it can be written to. Unfortunately, that mounting |
19 |
point is likely lost when / is remounted read-write, thereby destroying |
20 |
any record of the pid statd was so insistent about documenting. |
21 |
|
22 |
Needless to say I'd like to solve the problem the right way. However, |
23 |
the init scripts are a complex bunch for me and I'm not sure how to go |
24 |
about fixing this. |
25 |
|
26 |
I was hoping one of you might be able to guide me. Any thoughts? |
27 |

Thanks, |
