Public bug reported:
i've been starting down the migration path from one lts release to
another and trying out vm installs using fai 3.4.8ubuntu2 on precise
hosts. the vms (ganeti-managed) are built using fai dirinstall.
it appears that upstart in precise behaves differently than lucid with respect
to chroots (looks like it started supporting chroot "sessions" in natty). in
my testing this caused problems with both lucid and
precise guests. when performing a lucid dirinstall i ended up w/atd and acpid
processes running outside the chroot. with a precise dirinstall init
complained that it had had its "Configuration directory deleted" (referencing
the path to the chroot) and was left in a somewhat confused state, logging errs
like:
init: Failed to spawn network-interface (tap0) pre-start process: unable to
execute: No such file or directory
on vm bring-up.
my workaround for this was to add a hook to updatebase containing:
fai-divert -a /sbin/initctl
should /sbin/initctl be added to the list of automatic diversions in
updatebase?
thank you.
