Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mountall
Mounting tmpfs to /var/log or /var/tmp in fstab causes mountall to hang at boot with the message "waiting for tmpfs" This bug is present in karmic final but was not present in karmic alpha3 and prior. Mounting tmpfs to /tmp does NOT cause this problem. Please don't mark this bug as a duplicate unless it really is - there seem to be many bugs in mountall recently. To reproduce, add this line to fstab: tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,noatime,size=1000M,mode=1777 0 0 or tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,size=1000M,mode=1777 0 0 This is an important ability for systems with SSDs (in order to minimize disk writes). mountall --version reports "mountall 1.0". I installed from kubuntu-9.10-alternate-amd64.iso FYI, /var/log and /var/tmp can be mounted successfully with tmpfs in rc.local at runlevel 0.
