Hello, This is not stable on amd64. With a root only file system, it breaks with this issue: Mar 30 19:26:19 master postfix/postfix-script[23643]: fatal: unable to create missing queue directories Mar 30 19:26:19 master postfix/postfix-script[23644]: fatal: Postfix integrity check failed! When I brought this up on #postfix, I was told that the post-install script is deprecated and unused anymore. <joe9> I am trying to debug this shell script: http://codepad.org/EqVgLoUj . But, for some reason, I cannot see the output of the echo commands that I added in Line 481. Any suggestions on how to write output so I can see it. [18:00] <rob0> joe9, what is the goal of this script? <joe9> rob0: I am trying to figure out why postfix does not start with a read-only root filesystem (/var is writable). This started happening from v 3.0 [18:10] <joe9> just want to check if anyone had noticed this issue. <Patrickdk> that depends on what you set for all your paths [18:14] <pj> which patch is under /var? <pj> *path <pj> oh, /var/spool [18:15] <Patrickdk> for me, I need atleast /var/lib/postfix and /var/spool/postfix <pj> yeah, also /var/lib/postfix [18:16] <pj> /var/spool/postfix at least to me makes sense that it needs to be writable [18:17] <Patrickdk> atleast for postscreen and stuff to work <pj> yep <pj> well, all the queues are under /var/spool/postfix <pj> certainly postfix needs to be able to write to its queues [18:18] <joe9> ok, thanks. my queues are under /var/spool/postfix too <joe9> and it is writable and owned by postfix. <joe9> I think it is something else. <joe9> I am debugging this script . I will keep you posted when I have something more. <rob0> Anyway 2> redirects stderr, 1> redirects stdout [18:21] <Patrickdk> 3> does? <pj> joe9: you do reqalize that post-install is deprecated, right? <rob0> redirects FD #3, whatever you have assigned to 3 <pj> you should be using make install <Patrickdk> never used post-install before [18:22] <pj> that's the wscript that he pasted, he's trying to use post-install <Patrickdk> taht script he is using edned at 2.9? maybe 2.10 [18:23] <Patrickdk> doesn't seem to have 2.11 or 3.0 support [18:24] <Patrickdk> lets guess, he now has a mixture of postfix versions installed, and didn't follow the 3.0 upgrade readme <pj> it's in 3.0 still, but it's been deprecated. docs say to use make install or one of the make install variants. [18:25] <rob0> joe9, how did you do the upgrade? <rob0> oh, I bet the problem is the read-only /etc <joe9> rob0: I use gentoo and it did the upgrade with the portage package manager [18:26] <pj> regardless he should be using make upgrade for an upgrade or make install otherwise <rob0> You can, of course, define a different config_directory at compile time. <pj> ahhh, probably portage is outdated. <joe9> Patrickdk: oh, good point. Thank you so much. It probably has to do with portage and postfix [18:27] <joe9> Patrickdk: It only happens when I start postfix using the runscript script to start postfix. [18:28] <pj> joe9: I would drop an email to the portage maintainer for postfix (or file a bug) and let him know that it should be using make install now. <pj> or make upgrade <joe9> ok, thanks. folks. It is probable that this script is geared towards the old postfix http://codepad.org/jH1N2nKt [18:29] <joe9> This is how postfix is started by runscript <pj> ahhh, that looks fine to me at a glance [18:30] <joe9> pj, yes, that looks fine. let me see what "postfix ..start" does. <joe9> fyi, this is the portage install log: http://lpaste.net/129895 [18:52] <pj> interesting, the install log doesn't actually say what commands are being run. [18:54] <joe9> http://lpaste.net/129896 [18:56] <joe9> Patrickdk: pj: Is there any way that I can find the 3.0 upgrade readme online? [19:03] <pj> not sure about online, it's in the postfix source, though [19:04] <pj> wel, there's no UPGRADE doc, but there is INSTALL which covers upgrading [19:06] <pj> here ya go: http://www.postfix.org/INSTALL.html [19:07] Thanks Joe
Please ignore the above comment. It is an upstream bug caused by a read-only config directory. Sorry for the confusion.
