bootchartd spams the terminal repeatedly during boot if said boot takes longer than normal due to FSCK. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. have a filesystem that needs checking on boot 2. have bootchart installed and enabled 3. reboot Actual Results: /sbin/bootchartd: line 112: echo: write error: no space left on device /sbin/bootchartd: line 116: echo: write error: no space left on device repeats ad nauseum to the tune of two or three a second. Expected Results: "bootchartd: boot taking too long, disabling bootchart"
You know...there is a configuration option for this. %% grep -A2 tmpfs /etc/bootchartd.conf # tmpfs size # (32 MB should suffice for ~20 minutes worth of log data, but YMMV) TMPFS_SIZE=32m
why is this invalid? regardless of the option, the program should not spam the console repeatedly during boot.
.
It is invalid because there is a configuration option to not "spam" the console. In other words, easily preventable when properly setup by the end user. If you still think it is a bug, it should be taken upstream. Regardless, I will pass this on to the java team which maintains this package for review
thank you, that's a little better than "it's your fault, get lost".
Works for me as it is. Of course, patches welcome to reopen the bug.
