Bug 78954 – diskless-howto netmount init script little fix

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: [OLD] Docs-user

[Description Christian Andreetta (RETIRED) 2005-01-21 08:17:39 UTC]

In case a diskless root system mounts /usr (or another critical dir) via nfs, netmount must be shut off as later as possible. So, in the diskless-howto, the line
'You need as many init scripts under /diskless/192.168.1.21/etc/runlevel as you need services on your diskless nodes. It all depends on what you want your slaves to do.'

Should be prepended by something like:

'Also, since the unmounting of network filesystem should be one of the latest phases, (as well as one of the earliest for the mounting), you have to edit your /etc/init.d/netmount and change the line
"depend() {"
into
"depend() {
   before *
"
If you do this on a live system, don't forget to run '/sbin/depscan.sh' to fix the service dependencies. You can safely ignore any warning about the collision with /etc/init.d/checkroot, since you are disabling it via the fastboot file you set up in the previous paragraph.

SpankY, is this correct?

probably for baselayout 1.9.x (our current stable), but i'm pretty sure baselayout 1.11.x (our current unstable aiming for stable) does not need this at all ...

Thanks, fixed in CVS.
