I understand that it's not clear where qcontrol should be called (or that, at all, or it could be multiple times....) If my S00qcontrol early script would have worked, I wouldn't have written the bug report ... :-) For now, I'm happy to wait (can you close this bug when --direct is available, so I'll notice?); scripting something after local fs are mounted is probably not interesting since this is not a fundamental event in the boot process. > There's a few things missing in the new upstream version and work on it > is currently stalled, so I'm unsure when it could be uploaded. Don't hurry on my account. I'd been happy to have the feature during debugging, but the QNAP is now running (all that's missing is upstream kernel support. But tbm was nice enough...) cheers -- vbi > I'm also not sure that I want to add an additional early init script by > default as different users might have different wishes as to when extra > signalling should be done, e.g: > - when initrd is loaded (i.e: include qcontrol in the initrd); > - when root FS is mounted in initrd; > - immediately after init is started (your suggestion); > - after local file systems are mounted; > - after sshd is started; > - ... > > My feeling is that it should just be documented how it can be done and > then left to the user. > > [1] It also has a proper daemon mode.
