Bug 21524 – EVMS init script lacks in dependencies.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Aurelien Requiem 2003-05-23 01:43:04 UTC]

Both evms and evms2 init script lacks in dependencies.
If you have to mount volume in your fstab, it will fails.
I think you should add the following to your init scripts.

depend() {
        before localmount
}


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. rc-update add evms boot
2. create a volume
3. put it in your fstab
4. reboot

Actual Results:  
the mount has failed

Expected Results:  
The mount should succeed.

This was working fine for me until I upgraded to sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.6.8-r1.

Now localmount always gets called first. I've even put "need evms" in localmount's depend() function with no success. Localmount is still being run before evms.

[Comment 2 John Huttley 2003-07-04 02:35:36 UTC]

The best way to fix this is to patch /etc/init.s/checkfs and /etc/init/d/halt.sh
These scripts both cope with normal LVM. The evms service is superfluous.

patch for checkfs:

+++ checkfs	2003-07-04 21:35:38.000000000 +1200

+		ebegin "Setting up evms"

 	# Start software raid.



The patch for halt.sh is similar

[Comment 3 Mike Javorski 2003-07-07 12:20:52 UTC]

the reason that adding "before localmount" to the evms2 init script doesn't fix the problem is that localmount is set to "before *" which supercede the "before localmount" in evms. This is annoying but acceptable (prevents dependency problems) for the current implementation of dependency tracking.

Please see bug #24064 for an appropriate patch for checkfs (to implement EVMS startup). It hopefully will be included in a future version of baselayout.


And a small correction...
There should be nothing added to the halt.sh script.. evms_deactivate is for debugging only and has been removed from the current EVMS release.

I'm taking evms stuff

[Comment 5 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2004-06-13 13:29:38 UTC]

It actually needs to be before checkfs which is before localmount.  I fixed this a couple days ago. Thanks.
