I am trying to debug why my system fails during bootup with udev
failing. I think its related to debian bug #677097
mountall-bootclean.sh cleans the run directory. This program sources
/lib/init/bootclean.sh
Inside there is a function clean_all
At one point it does
clean /run "! -xtype d ! -name utmp ! -name innd.pid" || ES=1
clean /run/lock "! -type d" || ES=1
clean /run/shm "! -type d" || ES=1
which looks as though (with the "! - xtype d...") that its trying not to
recurse down the subdirectories of /run (otherwise why follow the clean
/run with clean /run/lock)
the clean routine ends up passing its parameter to find
what in effect is happening is its cd to /run
then calls find
find . "! -xtype d ! -name utmp ! -name innd.pid" -delete
I tried running
find . "! -xtype d ! -name utmp ! -name innd.pid"
which is the same command without the -delete action - so I am assuming
it "prints" the names instead
What happens it that
a) it lists all the files in all subdirectories
b) it finishes up with a line which says find: `! -xtype d ! -name utmp
! -name innd.pid': No such file or directory
I guess this is what is ultimately wrong - since it deletes the
/run/udev directory which udev is using.
However I can't find any real documentation on find which explains why
it outputs that error message. Can any gurus out there explain
