I've upgraded portage and done an etc-update today, it may or may not have to do with the bug. Anyway, when doing something like "/etc/init.d/samba start" the runscript mechanism uses /mnt/.init.d for unknown reasons, so if I have mounted something at /mnt, it fails. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.mount something at /mnt 2.start/stop an init script, eg. /etc/init.d/inetd stop 3.profit! Actual Results: r5d4 root # mount /mnt mount: /dev/hdd6 already mounted or /mnt busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/hdd6 is already mounted on /mnt r5d4 root # /etc/init.d/inetd start cat: /mnt/.init.d/softlevel: No such file or directory /sbin/runscript.sh: /mnt/.init.d/foo.sh: No such file or directory * ERROR: "/etc/init.d/inetd" has syntax errors in it; not executing... Expected Results: /mnt shouldn't be used by init scripts Portage 2.0.48-r1 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2, glibc-2.2.5-r7) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 1700+ GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio. org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/share/config /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="x86 oss 3dnow apm arts avi crypt cups encode gif java jpeg kde gnome libg++ libwww mikmod mmx mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime spell svga truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib alsa gdbm berkdb slang readline tcltk guile X sdl gpm tcpd pam ssl perl python esd imlib oggvorbis gtk qt motif opengl mozilla gphoto2 scanner" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache"
