Actually, it is probably the same as bug #386500. > Now the /dev/shm/network directory is not longer created, making the > links dangling ends. Sound to me like some init.d script isn't being executed any more. In your case, I believe the problem is that the ifupdown init.d script are missing in /etc/rcS.d/. They should look like this: % ls -l /etc/rc*/S*ifupdown* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Sep 6 19:56 /etc/rcS.d/S18ifupdown-clean -> ../init.d/ifupdown-clean lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Sep 6 19:56 /etc/rcS.d/S39ifupdown -> ../init.d/ifupdown % To fix it, please follow the instructions in /usr/share/doc/sysvinit/NEWS.Debian.gz for version 2.86.ds1-20 or newer. :) If it work, please let us know, so we can merge this bug into #386500 and close it. But the use of /dev/shm/ to store state information is really a bug in the scripts using it. /dev/shm/ is only to be used by the shm_open()-class of functions. Every other use of that tmpfs is a bug. This is part of the reason why we changed the privileges for that file system. But that should be the topic for another bug against ifupdown and friends. :) Friendly, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
