Description Chris Coleman 2011-05-20 21:31:59 UTC

I have /opt on a separate partition and I'm getting these messages from udev at boot time:

udevd[299]: exec of program '/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh 189 512 09' failed
udevd[308]: exec of program '/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh 189 128 09' failed
udevd[306]: exec of program '/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh 189 896 09' failed
udevd[314]: exec of program '/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh 189 768 09' failed
udevd[315]: exec of program '/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh 189 386 00' failed
udevd[318]: exec of program '/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh 189 640 09' failed
udevd[317]: exec of program '/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh 189 3 09' failed
udevd[311]: exec of program '/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh 189 385 00' failed

VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh doesn't exist because /opt hasn't been mounted yet. That happens later in the boot sequence.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have /opt on a separate partition
2. emerge app-emulation/virtualbox-bin-4.0.8
3. reboot

Created attachment 274163 [details, diff]
suggested fix, patch for virtualbox-bin-4.0.8.ebuild

This copies VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh to /lib/udev/ and updates the path in 10-virtualbox.rules.

I reported a similar bug to this one in ALSA (bug #369699). But now, having done some reading*, I think that neither that bug nor this one is really a problem that needs to be fixed. I'll just stop having a separate /opt. I'm closing this bug.
