[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#492214: initscripts: Prints message that /fastboot and /forcefsck aren't removable

[Jörg Sommer]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-60
Severity: normal

Hi,

the initscript /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh prints a message that /fastboot and
/forcefsck aren't removable. The message comes from the rm command and is
caused by the readonly mounted rootfs.

% mount G /dev/root
/dev/root on / type ext2 (ro,noatime,errors=remount-ro)
% LC_ALL=C rm -f /fastboot
rm: cannot remove `/fastboot': Read-only file system

While on a writable mounted filesystem rm is quiet.

% mount G /var\ 
/dev/hda4 on /var type ext3 (rw,errors=continue,commit=5,data=ordered)
% LC_ALL=C rm -f /var/fastboot
%

Bye, Jörg.
