Package: initscripts Version: 2.86.ds1-38 Severity: wishlist While browsing the ubuntu patch for sysvinit version 2.86.ds1-14.1ubuntu32, I came across a change to support spufs. The change consist of changes in debian/changelog, debian/control debian/initscripts/etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh and debian/initscripts/postinst.
I find documentation on the spufs on <URL: http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/filesystems/spufs.txt >, and it is related to the Cell microprocessor. I am not sure if this mounting belong in the initscripts package, or if it should be part of some Cell specific package. I am adding this bug report to track the issue and collect feedback. I'm not sure how important it is to mount the file system, nor what it is used for. These are the changes implemented in Ubuntu. sysvinit (2.86.ds1-14.1ubuntu19) gutsy; urgency=low * initscripts: - Create mountpoint for spufs on systems which support it. - mountkernfs.sh: Mount spufs on systems which support it. - Add dependency on passwd. -- Matthias Klose <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wed, 13 Jun 2007 15:27:10 +0200 debian/initscripts/etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh # Mount spufs, if Cell Broadband processor is detected if mountpoint -q /proc && grep -qs '^cpu.*Cell' /proc/cpuinfo; then mkdir -p /spu domount spufs "" /spu -ogid=spu fi debian/initscripts/postinst # # Create mount point for spufs, and create spu system group # if mountpoint -q /proc && grep -qs '^cpu.*Cell' /proc/cpuinfo; then if ! getent group spu >/dev/null; then # the adduser package is priority important; cannot use addgroup #addgroup --system spu groupadd -K GID_MAX=1000 spu fi mkdir -p /spu if ! mountpoint -q /spu; then mount -t spufs -ogid=spu spufs /spu fi fi debian/control Add passwd to the depends of initscripts.
