[Bug 835833] Re: spurious syslog error because of use of -w on boot [rpcbind.xdr / portmap.xdr : errno 2 (no such file)]

2012-05-22 Thread Mathew Cairns
How about using the fix suggested by in Debian Bug # 645880 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=645880) ? Simply start rpcbind without the '-w' option if neither of the relevant xdr files exist. I've modified the patch from the above Debian bug for compatibility with Upstart: ---

2010-04-16 Thread Mathew Cairns
Hello Scott, The updated mountall package (2.13~ppa1) appears to create more problems than it solves. Although the mountall process no longer spams the console with "mountall: Plymouth command failed", there is now a more serious problem. The system no longer boots, even if fsck isn't doing disk

The problem still exists for me. However, in my case, no plymouth processes were present after booting, even though mountall failed to terminate (see comment 23 above). The only difference I have observed is that KDM is running on a different console. Booting the 2.6.32-20 kernel with 'nosplash'

There is also a possible additional duplicate of this, as bug #559761. In that case, the mountall process remains after boot, using 100% CPU time. However, there are no plymouth processes running at the time. I have attached a backtrace of the mountall process to comment 8 of that bug. -- ply_b

I have a potential duplicate report of this bug as # 559761. In my case, the "mountall: Plymouth command failed" message still loops on the console. However, the mountall process fails to terminate properly, and continues to use 100% CPU time after I've logged on. Dennis, is it possible for you

A time-out issue may be causing this. My disk has a mixture of ext3 and ext4 partitions, with one of the ext3 partitions at 91% capacity. This causes fsck to take a long time. Below is the relevant portion of '$ df -h'. I'm also attaching a copy of my '/etc/fstab', in case this helps in resolvi
