Failed boot again, having removed the quotaon line from /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit,
IO'm pretty sure that wasn't the problem.
Here's the circs that cause the failure
- prior crash
i.e. my / and /boot filesystems have just undergone fsck
Note: these are still ext2fs format
on one boot failure the console popped up a message that
a file could not be written to /var/run/.... -no space left on device
The set of code following the quotas message squares with this
Any ideas why it fails only after a crash???? the only things I
can think of that would affect the post-crash situation are:
the / & /boot filesystems have just been fsck'd
Some files on jfs-formatted /var were not properly closed, and in spite
of boot-time fsck / log replay , they hang in the code that's posted below
Any ideas from what follows here?
Hoping for some ideas *before* I start metering this & intentionally
crashing to find the spot that's hanging
--- Excerpted from rc.sysinit
# Clean out /etc.
rm -f /fastboot /fsckoptions /forcefsck /halt /poweroff
# Do we need (w|u)tmpx files? We don't set them up, but the sysadmin might...
_NEED_XFILES=
[ -f /var/run/utmpx -o -f /var/log/wtmpx ] && _NEED_XFILES=1
# Clean up /var
# I'd use find, but /usr may not be mounted.
for afile in /var/lock/* /var/run/*; do
if [ -d "$afile" ]; then
[ "`basename $afile`" != "news" -a "`basename $afile`" != "sudo" -a
"`basename $afile`" != "mon" ] && rm -f $afile/*
else
rm -f $afile
fi
done
# Reset pam_console permissions
[ -x /sbin/pam_console_apply ] && /sbin/pam_console_apply -r
{
# Clean up utmp/wtmp
>/var/run/utmp
touch /var/log/wtmp
chgrp utmp /var/run/utmp /var/log/wtmp
chmod 0664 /var/run/utmp /var/log/wtmp
if [ -n "$_NEED_XFILES" ]; then
>/var/run/utmpx
touch /var/log/wtmpx
chgrp utmp /var/run/utmpx /var/log/wtmpx
chmod 0664 /var/run/utmpx /var/log/wtmpx
