Package: munin-node Version: 1.2.6-8 Severity: wishlist Thanks for maintaining munin.
munin-node will fail to start at boot up if the directory /var/log/munin does not exist, as typically seen in a nfs-root configuration. The standard nfs-root as provided by the nfsbooted package has a file /etc/nfsbooted/fstab which adds the following line to /etc/fstab /dev/ram5 /var/log ramfs defaults,rw,auto,dev 0 0 The idea is to store logs locally for speed instead of flowing over nfs-root. But munin-node reacts poorly to its log directory /var/log/munin being deleted every boot, and will not start until the directory is manually made, and then /etc/init.d/munin-node start. There are workarounds from the direction of not logging to a fresh ramdisk every boot. But, it might be nice if munin-node were a bit less brittle about it's directory being deleted upon startup, maybe creating it again if it got deleted. For that matter, maybe munin-node could just log into /var/log, instead of /var/log/munin ? -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages munin-node depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii gawk 1:3.1.5.dfsg-4.1 GNU awk, a pattern scanning and pr ii libnet-server-perl 0.97-1 An extensible, general perl server ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii perl 5.10.0-19 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii procps 1:3.2.7-9 /proc file system utilities Versions of packages munin-node recommends: pn libnet-snmp-perl <none> (no description available) Versions of packages munin-node suggests: ii acpi 1.1-2 displays information on ACPI devic ii ethtool 6+20080913-1 display or change Ethernet device pn libdbd-pg-perl <none> (no description available) pn liblwp-useragent-determined <none> (no description available) pn libnet-irc-perl <none> (no description available) ii libwww-perl 5.813-1 WWW client/server library for Perl ii lm-sensors 1:3.0.2-1+b2 utilities to read temperature/volt ii munin 1.2.6-8 network-wide graphing framework (g pn munin-plugins-extra <none> (no description available) ii mysql-client 5.0.51a-21 MySQL database client (metapackage ii mysql-client-5.0 [mysql-cli 5.0.51a-21 MySQL database client binaries ii python 2.5.2-3 An interactive high-level object-o ii smartmontools 5.38-2 control and monitor storage system -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
