Description Sebastian Pipping gentoo-dev 2011-06-19 19:35:35 UTC
This is what I am facing:

================================================
# sudo /etc/init.d/rpc.pipefs start
 * Mounting RPC pipefs ...             [ !! ]
 * ERROR: rpc.pipefs failed to start
================================================

Ideally, I would expect mentioning of (all of)

 - file system rpc_pipefs not present

 - module sunrpc could not be loaded (if existing)

 - related kernel configs (CONFIG_NFS_FS?)

in that output.  Please consider extension.

ive dropped some silent return paths so that `mount` always executes.  if rpc_pipefs isnt present, it'll say so.  the eend suggests some kernel configs to check, but that's about all i'll add as these paths do not incur more overhead.

init.d scripts arent there to debug your system for you, so i'm not going to add code that checks things further.
