My advise here would be either (a) give up on running a /var that's separate from / and just learn to cope with a system that becomes entirely useless at some point because something writing into /var has filled your root filesystem or (b) switch to a different distro that actually pays attention to "server deployment" practices wherein separating /var from / (and /usr for that matter) is an accepted and supported practice. Given that this bug has existed since Lucid (3 releases now) makes it clear to me that Ubuntu is not at all interested in supporting server deployments where responsible practice is to keep /var from being able to cripple an entire system simply because it fills up. I guess Ubuntu is targeting the desktop and if you want to deploy servers (where you likely will have budgets for support contracts) you need to look at a different distro. Just my perspective having watched this bug stagnate through three releases. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525154 Title: mountall for /var races with rpc.statd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/525154/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
