Sorry for crossposting this in the users and developers mailing list, |
| 2 |
but since this seems to concern the init-process too it might be of |
| 3 |
interest: |

Hi! |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I have a wierdness with my gentoo box which appeared recently after some |
| 8 |
fs-whoes on my root partition. |
| 9 |
The troubles with the ext3 fs are solved and usually I would have |
| 10 |
expected gentoo to boot nicely again |
| 11 |
but instead this happens at boot-up: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
(please see the attached init-boot.log) |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
... then the normal startup continues ... |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
remarks: |
| 19 |
---------------------------------- |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
* for this bootup I've created /var/lib/init.d/started via a mkdir -p |
| 22 |
/var/lib/init.d/started command |
| 23 |
in /etc/init.d/hostname, otherwise the init process would loop |
| 24 |
forever, checking the rootfs again and again. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
* /etc/conf.d/rc contains: |
| 27 |
svcdir="/var/lib/init.d |
| 28 |
svcmount="no" |
| 29 |
svcfstype="tmpfs" |
| 30 |
(same settings as in) /sbin/functions.sh |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
* /var is not a seperate partition, it's directory on / |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
* I have also tried wit explicit use of |
| 35 |
svcmount="yes" |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
* I have also re-emerged, baselayout and coreutils |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
* system uses actual ~x86 and 2.6.0-test9-gentoo from gentoo-dev |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
* error occurred after troubles with file-system that were fixed |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
after bootup & login: |
| 45 |
---------------------------------- |
| 46 |
* the $svcdir is mounted to tmpfs although $svcmount is set to "no" |
| 47 |
and local filesystems are missing in mount-table although mounted |
| 48 |
(see init-log) and accessible |
| 49 |
|

redchili root # df -h |

| 63 |
redchili root # |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
questions: |
| 66 |
---------------------------------- |
| 67 |
* I guess the reason for the looping of the init is the not creating of |
| 68 |
/var/lib/init.d ($svcdir), |
| 69 |
but I can't explain why it's not created by the rc-scripts |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
* why is there still a complaint |
| 72 |
ln: creating symbolic link `/var/lib/init.d/started/checkroot' to |
| 73 |
`/etc/init.d/checkroot': No such file or directory |
| 74 |
although I explicitly create /var/lib/init.d/started in the hostname |
| 75 |
script, and the root-fs is mounted read/write? |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
* in short: how to solve this? |
| 78 |
