Description Christoph Gysin 2008-01-29 10:32:57 UTC
The startup sequence in inittab is wrong. Does this actually work for someone?

Before I can remount rw I need to have /proc mounted.

This:
---snipp---
# Startup the system
null::sysinit:/bin/mount -o remount,rw /
null::sysinit:/bin/mount -t proc proc /proc
null::sysinit:/bin/mount -a
---snipp---

should be:
---snipp---
# Startup the system
null::sysinit:/bin/mount -t proc proc /proc
null::sysinit:/bin/mount -o remount,rw /
null::sysinit:/bin/mount -a
---snipp---

I'm using:
baselayout-lite-1.0_pre1
uclibc-0.9.28.3
busybox-1.8.2
gentoo-sources-2.6.23-r3

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

sys-apps/baselayout-lite was intended for read-only media. No bugfixes are planned for it. Please look into using baselayout-2*/openrc..
Comment 2 Christoph Gysin 2008-01-29 16:41:46 UTC
If it's intended for readonly media, why is there a line in the inittab trying to remount it rw?

The order is still wrong. You could argue that this line is unnecessary and should be removed, but I don't understand why you would refuse a bugfix?!

Other than that I'm totally happy with baselayout-lite. It's tiny and does what I need. I'll have a look at the alternatives you mentioned though, thanks.
Comment 3 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-29 16:53:36 UTC
It's not supported and wont be fixed. use baselayout-2/openrc.

Please do not reopen.
