/lib64/rc/sh/init.sh tests if /proc is mounted (VServer) or not (OpenVZ). But check routine changed and now does not work correctly (tries to mount /proc even when it is already mounted). When booting gentoo vserver-guest with openrc-0.7.0 we get these messages: ---begin--- OpenRC 0.7.0 is starting up Gentoo Linux (x86_64) [VSERVER] * /proc is already mounted, skipping ----end---- With openrc-0.8.0 we get these messages: ---begin--- OpenRC 0.8.0 is starting up Gentoo Linux (x86_64) [VSERVER] * You have cruft in /proc that should be deleted * Mounting /proc ... mount: permission denied [ !! ] ----end---- I think reason for this is the detection routine changed: openrc-0.7.0 ---begin--- if [ -e /proc/uptime ]; then up="$(cat /proc/uptime)" sleep 1 if [ "$up" = "$(cat /proc/uptime)" ]; then eerror "You have cruft in /proc that should be deleted" else einfo "/proc is already mounted, skipping" mountproc=false fi fi ----end---- openrc-0.8.0 ---begin--- f=/proc/self/stat if [ -e $f ]; then exec 9<$f ; read a <&9 ; exec 9<&- exec 9<$f ; read b <&9 ; exec 9<&- if [ "$a" = "$b" ]; then eerror "You have cruft in /proc that should be deleted" else einfo "/proc is already mounted, skipping" mountproc=false fi fi ----end---- I think those two /proc/self/stat checks are executed without any delay, so results are the same, therefore init.sh tries to mount /proc even though it is already mounted. Quick & dirty patch is to change corresponding part of the file /lib64/rc/sh/init.sh from: ... exec 9<$f ; read a <&9 ; exec 9<&- exec 9<$f ; read b <&9 ; exec 9<&- ... to: ... exec 9<$f ; read a <&9 ; exec 9<&- sleep 1 exec 9<$f ; read b <&9 ; exec 9<&- ... And it solved my problem. No more error messages, /proc is detected as mounted. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. update gentoo vserver-guest to openrc 0.8.0 2. start gentoo vserver-guest 3. watch boot-up messages Actual Results: init.sh does not detect /proc mounted, tries to mount /proc and reports error Expected Results: init.sh should detect /proc is already mounted and skip mounting it I get this error in gentoo vserver-guest with baselayout-2.x. Gentoo vserver-host is still running with baselayout-1.x.
Duplicate, but I don't have the other bug# at hand right now.
