This is unfortunately impossible to resolve for wheezy due to the following considerations: - packages needing to migrate from /lib/init/rw to /run need to Depend on the new initscripts for /run to be set up and available. - this means that we can't directly remove /lib/init/rw in the postinst, since all the other packages do their migration in their postinsts after we finished, so we can't remove it until they are done. I'm reconsidering the dropping of the /lib/init/rw directory, and just dropping the tmpfs mount. This would then permit us to remove it entirely post-wheezy, but have it present but non- functional for wheezy. Any suggestions would of course be welcome! We could do it at the next reboot... but the rootfs isn't guaranteed to be writable, so pre/postinst is really the only reliable option that I can see. > Even when unmounted, there's still a lot of crap inside /lib/init/rw > in my case: > # tree /lib/init/rw/ -a > /lib/init/rw/ > ├── resolvconf > │ ├── interface > │ └── resolv.conf > └── sendsigs.omit.d > └── rsyslog -> /var/run/rsyslogd.pid I know for sure that resolvconf and rsyslog migrated to /run a while back. What are the timestamps on these files? Are they new, or were they on the rootfs but hidden by the tmpfs mount? Thanks, Roger -- .''`.
