[Debian-ha-maintainers] Bug#1030118: drbd-utils: Warning in initscript about missing /var/lib/linstor/loop_device_mapping

[Patrik Schindler]

Package: drbd-utils
Version: 9.15.0-1
Severity: normal

Note: I'm using sysv-rc, not systemd.

At startup, a warning is issued:
/etc/init.d/drbd: line 148: /var/lib/linstor/loop_device_mapping: No such file or directory

In fact, /var/lib/linstor doesn't exist on the machine in question.

Since drbd starts and ends without issue, I guess that directory is usually not needed.

Maybe it would be a good idea to add a check for the existence of the
file/directory in line 150 and do nothing if it doesn't exist.

if [ -f /var/lib/linstor/loop_device_mapping ]; then
	...
fi
