I tried uncommenting the line in /etc/init.d/rc that has
debug=echo
but after doing so, I not only had problems shutting down but also with
restarting, leaving the root filesystem mounted read-only though mount
claimed it was read-write.
debug=echo means each command that the script would do is echo'd and not
actually performed. It is used for development/debugging of script to make
sure it does things in correct sequence.
I'm not sure this is a bug, but maybe the code comments could be a little more
verbose than they are currently, and warn people not to leave 'debug=echo'
uncommented for actual script use.
Thanks, Kel.
Thanks, is there any way to run the start-up and shut-down scripts with
the kind of verbosity provided by "sh -x"?
Another wish-list item would be to run the start-up and shut-down
scripts with just enough extra output to indicate what script was being run.
This was all inspired by a problem with SCSI module eata being loaded
due to its inclusion in /etc/modules, but the appearance of the device
files /dev/sda? happening *after* fsck was run on the non-root file systems.
Regards,
Arthur.
