Greets On a Soekris 4801, 128mb, with a 512MB CF disk, generic 3.8 firewall I'm trying to setup /var on an mfs, which seems to work except during boot, after "starting network daemons" , it gives this:
can't open and lock /var/db/dhclient.leases.sis0: No such file or directory Exiting ( I foolishly didn't copy the console output and don't have it with me.) sis0 is the public interface and doesn't get an ip. Doing either dhclient sis0 OR sh /etc/netstart sis0 after booting gets the ip. What gets me is this all depends on /etc/fstab and I've no clue as to why. This seems to mount everything ok, but get the above error: $ cat fstab /dev/wd0a / ffs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0e /usr ffs rw,nodev 1 2 /dev/wd0d /proto/var ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2 swap /tmp mfs rw,nodev,nosuid,-s=32768 0 0 swap /var mfs rw,noauto,-P=/proto/var,-s=32768,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 Note wd0d is mount'd on /proto/var to get the mfs populated. Don't have the output to mount handy for the above, but nothing looks odd. Will get it if need be. This works: $ cat fstab /dev/wd0a / ffs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0e /usr ffs rw,nodev 1 2 /dev/wd0d /var ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2 swap /tmp mfs rw,nodev,nosuid,-s=32768 0 0 # swap /var mfs rw,noauto,-P=/proto/var,-s=32768,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 $ mount /dev/wd0a on / type ffs (local) /dev/wd0e on /usr type ffs (local, nodev) /dev/wd0d on /var type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid) mfs:1633 on /tmp type mfs (asynchronous, local, nodev, nosuid, size=32768 512-blocks) The only thing close to this I found was: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2004-08/0882.html Which has more errors/warnings about /var than I'm getting--this only gets the one noted, and nothing explicitly about /var. But it seems like /var isn't available at the time dhclient is run? Partial dmesg below. If a complete one is needed let me know. Pointers, suggestions, docs, cluesticks, anything!
