One more thought, just by looking at the script and the behaviour on my system. The bug description states "as far as I can understand, the 30 second sleep in failsafe.conf means that /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf will start within AT MOST 30 seconds of 'filesystem' and 'ifup lo' having occurred."
It seems to me that the sleep statement means that the bootup will take AT LEAST 30 seconds, and a 120 sleep statement will ensure at least 120 seconds to boot up. I am not an expert, so sorry if this silly, but isn't upstart all about dependency based start up? It seems as if using sleep statements defeats the whole purpose of the system? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/839595 Title: failsafe.conf's 30 second time out is too low To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/839595/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
