Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
So, I found out a little later that the LFS bootscripts are buggy when
passing "-p $pidfile". The problem is that if there's a stale pid file
hanging around, loadproc will bail out. This becomes a big problem if
you've had to hard reboot and have a lot of stale pid files. In that case,
you have to go and manually remove all the stale pid files or you won't
get any services you might need.
The right way to fix this is to teach the *proc functions what to do in
the face of a stale pid file. However, any fixes will be on LFS trunk (I
do plan on doing this since it bites me frequently). Since we're targeting
LFS-6.3, I'm going to back out r7122. I'll leave the samba fix in r7121
there since it fixes a bigger issue.
Does that sound alright?
