[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#339351: initscripts: Error at checkroot.sh

[Michael Biebl]

The error message comes from checkroot.sh, line 351 where
/etc/init.d/mountvirtfs is sourced. mountvirtfs isn't called with a
start parameter so it actually is mountvirtfs that complains that you
should start it with (start|stop|...). The output is
Usage: /etc/rcS.d/S10checkroot.sh start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload
because in mountvirtfs $0 is replaced with the calling script name.
The old mountvirtfs did not have a a case clause (start|stop|*..), that
is the reason for the appearance of this error now.
As a workaround I would add a "start" after mountvirtfs in checkrootfs,
line 351.

Cheers,
Michael
