does it only happen when you're doing interactive mode ?
No, in default mode also. I chose interactive mode to identify at which step the error message is shown.
FYI: there has been considerable discussion in this forum http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=6889054#6889054 bug is just mentioned there ..
This error occurs at line 280 of openrc-0.9.4/src/rc/rc-logger.c I can't see any checks for even / being mounted rw let alone /var/log, so I not sure how the code is supposed to work correctly.
Created attachment 295419 [details] screenshot of error and warning confirmed, see attached screenshot. FYI, after boot has completed, /var/log/rc.log contains all boot information starting from "/proc is already mounted, skipping" all the way to "Starting local", and /lib64/rc/init.d/rc.log does not exist. Looks like these errors are being printed for no reason.
As a marginal topic, I've a similar problem during shutdown (I want to log to a unmounted filesystem, I don't feel my case as a bug). What could interest you is that in that case the fallback rc.log file is /lib64/rc/cache/rc.log Regards, Sergio
FYI, I was facing this problem, I solved by adding localmount & mtab to sysinit rc-update add localmount sysinit rc-update add mtab sysinit Best Regards, Eddy

Looks like these errors > are being printed for no reason. While boot process it seems to be OK. While shutdown initialized from GUI also no warning messages. But when I try to halt system with poweroff command I see warning message (/var/log/rc.log fopen error). x86 stable, /var on separate device.
Like others I also faced this problem during shutdown. First /var is umount'ed, then a write thereto attempted. Not a big deal since a copy is saved to / anyway but is very annoying.
Same here on shutdown.
Same here, I will try what Eddy proposed. There are also something strange right when loading initramfs in my case: /proc is already mounted, skipping udev-mount :/dev is already mounted proc mount is also defined in my /etc/fstab
rc-update add localmount sysinit rc-update add mtab sysinit fixed situation.
(In reply to comment #13) > rc-update add localmount sysinit > rc-update add mtab sysinit > > fixed situation. Glad to hear that :-) Eddy
(In reply to comment #13) > rc-update add localmount sysinit > rc-update add mtab sysinit > > fixed situation. That's really not good as a solution, as it will cause a lot of the boot level to be forced into sysinit instead.

It's been a time for me using it and faced no problem. Best Regards, Eddy
