Public bug reported:
Hi
on my system (gutsy) I have
/etc/init.d 2:36 <286>% grep /var /proc/mounts
tmpfs /var/run tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
tmpfs /var/run tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
/dev/sda8 /var ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0
I have the impression that the doulble mount of /var/lock and /var/run might be
due to the fact that
/var is an extra partition. Actually in the init.d scripts mount commands for
these occur twice, in mtab.sh and
mountkernfs.sh. Both check well for existance of the mountpoint, but my guess
is that the intermediate
mount of /var inhibits the correct check whence the second attempt is launched
(mtab.sh?).
I don't think that this is critical, but it could eventually result in some
service launched twice, since the
corresponding lock files of the first launch might be hidden.
I also see the interest of having these two fs mounted as early as possible,
but then they should be moved away before
a mount of /var and moved to the new location afterwards (or some similar
acrobacy).
Thanks
Jens
