When I run '/etc/init.d/laptop-mode', I obtain:
....
Readahead states:
/dev/hda3: 128 kB
BLKRAGET: Inappropriate ioctl for device
/usr/sbin/laptop_mode: line 261: / 2: syntax error: operand expected
(error token is "/ 2")
....
I am running Debiain on an amd64 architecture. I have also a chroot with
Debian i386.
My /etc/mtab contains:
/dev/hda3 / reiserfs rw,notail 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0
/home /var/chroot/ia32/home none rw,bind 0 0
/tmp /var/chroot/ia32/tmp none rw,bind 0 0
proc /var/chroot/ia32/proc proc rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,size=10M,mode=0755 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/WindowsXP ntfs
ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,umask=0222,user=username 0 0
The problems is due to the bind mount of my directory /home into
/var/chroot/ia32/home. /usr/sbin/laptop_mode checks only if /home exists
(line 260 - 'if [ -e $DEV]'), not if it is a block device (if [ -b $DEV ]).
In fact, 'blockdev--getra /home' returns:
BLKRAGET: Inappropriate ioctl for device
