Public bug reported:
System:
Server with one harddisk partitioned to /, /home and /var
Linux rad2 2.6.15-27-server #1 SMP Sat Sep 16 02:57:21 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
initscripts:
Installed: 2.86.ds1-6ubuntu32
Mounted partitions (/etc/fstab):
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
#<file sys> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/sda2 / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sda1 none swap rw 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda5 /home ext3 rw 0 2
/dev/sda6 /var ext3 rw 0 2
Problemdescription:
On system boot mountvirtfs (S01) is started befor mountall.sh (S35). This
causes the mount requests for /var/run and /var/lock to fail since there are no
such paths in /var until /var is mounted by mountall.sh.
Workaround:
Create the required paths in the /var directory befor it is mounted.
mount --bind / /mnt && mkdir /mnt/var/run /mnt/var/lock && umount /mnt
mountvirtfs will mount /var/run and /var/lock as tmpfs and everything is
working fine.
** Affects: sysvinit (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
--
The initscript mountvirtfs fails to mount /var/run and /var/lock if /var is a
seperate partition
