Package: initscripts Version: 2.87dsf-8 Severity: normal
I had an entry like this in /etc/fstab: UUID=4823-93A9 /mnt/usb8gig vfat defaults,users,uid=65534,gid=65534,umask=000,shortname=win95 0 2 When upgrading past dosfstools 3.0.1 I ran into a problem that fsck was exiting with an error code greater than 1 when the drive was not present. This is not really the fault of fsck but it is the fault of calling fsck on a device node that is not even present. I believe that if there is an entry in /etc/fstab for a filesystem whose device (or in this case UUID) does not exist, no attempt should be made to run fsck. Perhaps just a "device UUID=4823-93A9 does not exist" should be reported, but please don't halt the boot process. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages initscripts depends on: ii coreutils 8.4-1 GNU core utilities ii debianutils 3.2.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.10.2-5 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii mount 2.16.2-0 Tools for mounting and manipulatin ii sysv-rc 2.87dsf-8 System-V-like runlevel change mech ii sysvinit-utils 2.87dsf-8 System-V-like utilities Versions of packages initscripts recommends: ii e2fsprogs 1.41.9-1 ext2/ext3/ext4 file system utiliti ii psmisc 22.10-1 utilities that use the proc file s initscripts suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
