Package: mrtg Version: 2.16.2-3 Severity: normal
I'm using tmpfs for /var/lock, as detailed in the /etc/default/tmpfs file: $ cat /etc/default/tmpfs # SHM_SIZE sets the maximum size (in bytes) that the /dev/shm tmpfs can use. # If this is not set then the size defaults to the value of TMPFS_SIZE # if that is set; otherwise to the kernel's default. # # The size will be rounded down to a multiple of the page size, 4096 bytes. SHM_SIZE= RAMRUN=yes RAMLOCK=yes In this case, after a reboot, the /var/lock directory is empty and mrtg fails with this message: 2009-03-27 06:55:03: ERROR: Creating templock /var/lock/mrtg/_etc_mrtg.cfg_l_13644: No such file or directory at /usr/bin/mrtg line 1833. Either mrtg should create the directory, or the cron job must do it.
