[Bug 164440] Re: bash_completion erroneously returns

2007-12-06 Thread Alexander Achenbach
The 'set +v' is ok. The command block following it is not. The problem is caused by the handling of read-only variables in /etc/bash-completion: { # These declarations must go within braces in order to be able to silence # readonly variable errors. BASH_COMPLETION="${BASH_COMPLETION

2017-05-18 Thread Alexander Achenbach
Same problem here, using pxelinux 6.03 as of 16.04. I initially thought that it failed at an earlier PXE stage, as it alway booted to the local hard disk (exiting PXE), but that was only due to a 'default harddisk' within the configuration: default harddisk timeou

Hi Steve, I will have a look at #811823 later on, but for a start: We have /var mounted as a separate partition on all installations on which we see the idmapd start-up problems. The same goes for /usr and /tmp. Cheers, Alex On 19/07/11 18:59, Steve Langasek wrote: > iFred, > > I could not rep

Hi Jean, I can only (temporarily) offer the patched mountall packages we use on our cluster for just over 400 machines: http://fias.uni-frankfurt.de/~xela/mountall_2.20.1xela2_amd64.deb http://fias.uni-frankfurt.de/~xela/mountall_2.20.1xela2_i386.deb They should work ok on lucid. For nfs-co

I have invested some time into analysis of some of the problems the introduction of upstart/mountall created. Building on Steve Langasek's and Clint Byrum's ideas of introducing fixes in the start-up procedure to make idmapd/gssd and even statd start reliably again, I initially failed due to the l

This is a secondary patch meant to prevent miscounting of mounts in mountall. The problem may actually already exist in mountall 2.20+nmu1 (the core of the patch should work there, too). With asynchronous event handling, this problem may show up severely, which is why I post it here. ** Patch ad

Suitable for the mountall async patch set just provided, here is my set of job configuration files for nfs-common: gssd -- (triggered by portmap and local-filesystems) gssd-mounting -- (triggered by mounting, triggers gssd) idmapd -- (triggered by local-filesystems) idmapd-mounting -- (triggered b

You may also refer to LP #643289 posts #2, #3, #4, which provide fixes for mountall blocking and for various start-up problems of statd as well as for idmapd/gssd/rpc_pipefs. Those fixes are based on the above fixes, but go further to make sure mountall and rpc_pipefs mounting proceed in proper seq

You may also refer to LP #643289 posts #2, #3, #4, which include (among others) a fix for gssd start-up problems. Please note that all of #2, #3, #4 should be applied to make it work. While I have not tested my gssd fix as intensely as similar ones for idmapd/statd, all share major functionality,
