Carlos, thanks for the report. I can see where this will fail with a separate /usr. This is actually mountall's file though, not upstart's.
One just needs to use an OR and add a check: start on (mounted MOUNTPOINT=/tmp) or (mounted MOUNTPOINT=/usr) and then add this to the top [ -x /usr/bin/find ] || exit 0 If /tmp is mounted before /usr, it will exit 0. if /usr is mounted before /tmp, then we'll just clear out the empty mount point for /tmp, which is actually a good thing. /tmp will be mounted later and we'll clear it out. If /tmp is not its own filesystem this also makes sure it gets cleaned up. Because mounted is a hook point, there's no parallelism to worry about. Assigning to myself, merge proposal forthcoming. ** Package changed: upstart (Ubuntu) => mountall (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/655447 Title: mounted-tmp uses 'find' -- but if /usr is not yet available it will fail -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
