Having a system go live when one or more local filesystems have mounted is sometimes not at all desirable. This little patch gives the option to the user to have the system prompted for single user mode when one or more local filesystems fail to mount. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unplug a drive or have a raid fail 2. Boot the system 3. It boots and goes live even with missing drive Expected Results: Should be configurable to fail to boot. --- /etc/conf.d/rc.old 2008-03-31 11:00:38.000000000 -0600 +++ /etc/conf.d/rc 2008-03-31 11:02:23.000000000 -0600 @@ -145,7 +145,11 @@ RC_DMESG_LEVEL="1" +# RC_REQ_ALL_LOCAL_MOUNTS: +# Set to "yes" if you want the boot process to stop and a shell to be started +# if some local filesystems fail to mount +RC_REQ_ALL_LOCAL_MOUNTS="yes" --- /etc/init.d/localmount.old 2008-03-31 11:00:50.000000000 -0600 +++ /etc/init.d/localmount 2008-03-31 11:04:17.000000000 -0600 @@ -11,8 +11,15 @@ ebegin "Mounting local filesystems" mount -at noproc,noshm${NET_FS_LIST:+,no}${NET_FS_LIST// /,no} \ -O no_netdev >/dev/null + retval=$? eend $?

I just now saw this bug, and we now do something similarr. In OpenRC-0.18, we allow localmount and netmount to fail on Linux if all of the file systems they are supposed to mount do not mount successfully. It is possible to configure which file systems are part of this by adding nofail or noauto to the fstab entries.
