I have a system where I use a readonly nfs root with a local hard drive and I need to have some local settings for each computer (mainly /etc/hosts, ip address for network devices, hostname and nfs server settings). I do that by mounting the local disk on /local and then overiding some settings using unionfs (will be happy to hear of a simpler method).
Anyway, I have a link /etc/rcS.d/S05mount_local which is supposed to run after /dev is populated and before most other things and the main thing it does for this purpose (or the main thing that fails) is a call to mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /local with the error /dev/sda1 already mounted or /local busy since root is an nfs root then it should be mounted This happens also on the main node where /dev/sda1 is root and also on the slave nodes with nfs root. Running the same script after the machine finished booting works fine and the script used to work find buffer so it's something pretty recent, probably in unstable, that broke it. Any idea what it is or how to fix it? Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
