Etienne, thanks for trying it out. I wasn't able to reliably cause statd to lose the race w/ mountall without forcing FS corruption or introducing a sleep into the fsck process. I did so by moving /sbin/fsck to /sbin/fsck.real and then using this script:
#!/bin/sh echo sleeping 5 seconds before calling real fsck sleep 5 exec /sbin/fsck.real $@ Given that this is a race condition brought on by fsck problems, the only real world examples are exactly what you had to use, caused by recovering from some other problem. I don't think your method is synthetic at all, but it would be good to get somebody else to verify in a similar manner. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525154 Title: mountall for /var races with rpc.statd -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
