Package: initscripts Version: 2.88dsf-13.1 Severity: important If you have / on UBIFS, named as something with ubi0:xxx, the script /etc/init.d/umountfs has nothing to unmount.
Here is a sample /proc/mounts: rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 none /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 none /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 none /dev devtmpfs rw,relatime,size=254952k,nr_inodes=63738,mode=755 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000 0 0 ubi0:rootfs / ubifs ro,noatime 0 0 tmpfs /lib/init/rw tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime 0 0 varrun /var/run tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755 0 0 varlock /var/lock tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 /dev/mmcblk0p3 /var ext2 rw,noatime,errors=continue 0 0 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,relatime 0 0 As you can see, there is / on ubi0:rootfs. There is a regexp in /etc/init.d/umountfs which lists the protected mounts (mountpoints that needs to be kept mounted for the moment). If / is not on something named like /abc.../xyz, the regexp returns all the mountpoints in /proc/mounts. Here is the regexp (line 22): PROTECTED_MOUNTS="$(sed -n '0,/^\/[^ ]* \/ /p' /proc/mounts)" You can modify it with something like the following and then it works ! PROTECTED_MOUNTS="$(sed -n '0,/^\/\|^ubi[^ ]* \/ /p' /proc/mounts)" But I am not sure that it is a "standard" way of finding the / mountpoint ! As a countermeasure, I've tried to use a more standard name for the UBIFS device (like /dev/ubi0_0) but when passing this name to the kernel at boot (via root=/dev/ubi0_0s rootfstype=ubifs ), kernel can't find root. Hardware is a Sheevaplug... reportbug is not installed on this computer so the kernel line is not the good one (2.3.32-5, squeeze kernel). -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers squeeze-updates APT policy: (500, 'squeeze-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35-trunk-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages initscripts depends on: ii coreutils 8.5-1 GNU core utilities ii debianutils 3.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii lsb-base 3.2-23.2squeeze1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii mount 2.17.2-9 Tools for mounting and manipulatin ii sysv-rc 2.88dsf-13.1 System-V-like runlevel change mech ii sysvinit-utils 2.88dsf-13.1 System-V-like utilities Versions of packages initscripts recommends: ii e2fsprogs 1.41.12-2 ext2/ext3/ext4 file system utiliti ii psmisc 22.11-1 utilities that use the proc file s initscripts suggests no packages. -- no debconf information _______________________________________________ Pkg-sysvinit-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sysvinit-devel
