I can confirm this on kubuntu karmic final. This bug was NOT present in karmic alpha3, so perhaps the use of upstart is responsible? Mounting tmpfs to /tmp does NOT cause this problem, just /var or a /var subdir.
To reproduce, add this line to fstab: tmpfs /var tmpfs defaults,noatime,size=1000M,mode=1777 0 0 or tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,noatime,size=1000M,mode=1777 0 0 In addition, this is an important ability for systems with SSDs (in order to minimize disk writes). mountall --version reports "mountall 1.0". I installed from kubuntu-9.10-alternate-amd64.iso This may be a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/431040 but that bug was closed as "fix released". This has not been fixed. -- failed to boot if /var/tmp and /tmp specified in /etc/fstab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/471794 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
