Hello all,
I have a (nasty) issue with the system start-up, and probably with

once, but I couldn't recall the actual circumstances.
The problem is that, for example, MPD will not remember it's last
state before shutdown, and will be unable to recover the it's last
state. I have no idea where to start correcting the issue; any ideas
welcome.
Thanks,

That's a very unusual location for init scripts. Did you put them there,
instead of in the more usual /etc/init.d/?
That's not the init script dir. that's svcdir in baselayout 1. It is
used to save the state of the init scripts. So it is natural that the
init process accesses it.

This is almost certainly disk corruption. Boot from a CD and do an fsck on
all
disk volumes
And I must stress this: check all your filesystems.

That's okay, this directory has symlinks to all real init scripts
in /etc/init.d that have already started. There's
also /var/lib/init.d/{failed,starting,stopping} and more.

on all disk volumes
And maybe do a backup first, in case fsck messes up things worse than
before.

I did the checks using Gparted (on its own LivecD), and it corrected a handful of errors. Now the system seems to boot fine.

[gentoo-user] corrupted start-up services (and file-system)
Hello all, I have a (nasty) issue with the system start-up, and probably with corrupted file-system. On start-up, I get several error messages (see below). I suspect I started having these messages after Gentoo crashed once, but I couldn't recall the actual circumstances. The problem is that, for example, MPD will not remember it's last state before shutdown, and will be unable to recover the it's last state. I have no idea where to start correcting the issue; any ideas welcome.
