Package: hotplug
Version: 0.0.20040329-22
Severity: important
Tags: patch
The 'postinst' script in the hotplug package creates the
symlink /etc/rcS.d/S40hotplug, which is run AFTER /etc/rcS.d/S30checkfs.sh
and /etc/rcS.d/S35mountall.sh. This means that scsi drives (and other
hotpluggable drives, such as usb drives) will not be fsck'ed or mounted,
since scsi support is not enabled until later in the boot process. For users
(like me) who have /home mounted on a scsi drive, this is unbearable.
Fix: Modify line 100 in the postinst script; change the current line:
update-rc.d hotplug start 40 S . >/dev/null || exit 0
to this instead:
update-rc.d hotplug start 25 S . >/dev/null || exit 0
Note: it may be advisable to put hotplug even earlier in order to allow for /
to be mounted from a scsi (or usb) drive; but I'm not sure whether the
default kernel allows booting off a scsi drive (I've been trying for a couple
of hours now...), so maybe it doesn't matter.
