[02:26] sooo ... I upgraded to upstart .... and now my computer hangs during boot... [02:27] I'm, trying to debug with init=/bin/sh .. but where's the best place to ask for this kind of help? [02:27] the hang happend after fsck finishes... [02:28] saying init --verbose and then looking at dmesg says this: [02:28] init: mounted-tmp state changed from post-stop to waiting [02:28] init:Handling stopped event [02:29] init: Handling mounting event [02:29] and that's all .. it s just hung .. [02:30] ahh hmm [02:30] all my file system are mounted, except one .. [02:30] the one that is not mounted is one that uses the device mapper [02:31] its a logical volume an lvm-managed filesystem [02:31] so maybe uspart/mountalll doesn't like lvm ? [02:33] if there's a better channel for this, let me know ... [02:35] .. manually trying to mount says mount: special device /dev/mapper/bla-blah does not exist [02:35] so the device mapper didn't run or something... [02:36] lsmod doesn't seem to show device-mapper maodules .. hmm [02:38] well, a good a time as any to figure out how device mapper is supposed to work. [02:38] but is there a way to tell upstart to just move on, and finish booting? cause i DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT THE MISSING FILESYSTEM... [02:39] WHOOPs bad capslock [02:39] sorry [02:58] arghhh ... so I commented out the lvm volume in /etc/fstab and now the boot goes much farther. [02:59] a bunch of daemons get started, including the lvm daemon. (!) [03:00] so clearly, mountall was trying to mount lvm volumes wayy too early [03:01] but now, it crashes in fsck, since this time, fsck is beeing run a second time !?!?! and since all the file systems are already mounted, it stoo late for that. [03:01] so wtf ... [03:01] must be left-over grunge in /etc/init.d and some backwards-compat thingy in upstart... [10:35] linas: you say you just upgraded to upstart, but you don't say which OS (version) you are on, so it's not obvious which jobs you are using... [10:40] (e.g. Ubuntu uses different upstart jobs than ChromeOS, and different versions of Ubuntu have improved the upstart jobs they use too) === SpamapS_ is now known as SpamapS
