tags 541396 + patch thanks Here is a proposed patch to solve this issue. Instead of depending on checkroot and umountroot, I believe it is better to depend on the virtual facility $local_fs, which represent the point when all local file systems like /var/ are mounted. The script need the mounted /var/ file system, and thus checkroot is not enough when / and /var/ are on separate partitions. Also, the $syslog dependendency should also be used to make sure the syslog service is started before mdadm starts.
Without this patch, the script will start too early in the boot sequence, and some syslog messages might be lost. diff -ur mdadm-3.0/debian/mdadm.init mdadm-3.0-pere/debian/mdadm.init --- mdadm-3.0/debian/mdadm.init 2009-08-27 10:47:04.000000000 +0200 +++ mdadm-3.0-pere/debian/mdadm.init 2009-08-27 10:50:00.040714000 +0200 @@ -8,8 +8,8 @@ # ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: mdadm -# Required-Start: checkroot -# Required-Stop: umountroot +# Required-Start: $local_fs $syslog +# Required-Stop: $local_fs $syslog # Should-Start: module-init-tools # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
