OK. It's working. I installed a fully up-to-date natty 64 bit desktop in both a virtualbox and on bare metal on my old macbook 2,1.
Again I verified that the procedure in comment #71 does in fact produce the problem with orphaned inodes. >From natty-proposed I installed these packages: sysvinit-utils_2.87dsf-4ubuntu23.1_amd64.deb sysv-rc_2.87dsf-4ubuntu23.1_all.deb initscripts_2.87dsf-4ubuntu23.1_amd64.deb This does make the changes to /etc/init.d/sendsigs from the patch, and it does fix the problem with orphaned inodes (tested on both the macbook and virtualbox) I don't use these installations much, so I can not tell if these updates cause other unexpected problems.
