 Posted: Mon Nov 18, 2002 7:01 pm Post subject: /usr/bin/find would be in /bin |
 |
|
The find program (from sys-apps/findutils-4.1.7-r1) is installed in /usr/bin.
It is used in depscan.sh, executed while booting, so, if /usr is in its own partition, it is unable to finish ok.
What do you think? Should I open a bug, or is it ok?
I haven't found any reference to this in the forums, but the problem is clear to me.
As always, excuse my bad English. |

I would say open a bug.
It is quite common to have /usr mount on a different partition than /boot and /. If something gets used during the initial boot, prior to mounting filesystems, it needs to reside in a directory accessible from the mounting of / and is not part of directories that traditionally can be on different disks,i.e /usr, /usr/local, /var, /opt

I am in this situation where /usr is a different partition and I did not encounter that problem. So I went through depscan.sh and did not find any reference to find. Can you point out where depscan.sh uses find?
P.S. I use depscan.sh version 1.12. |

You are right.
I thought depscan.sh executed the find program in one of the sourced funtions, etc, but didn't verify it, because I had a message like:
depscan.sh: find not found (more or less)
in every boot. I have had the problem two times in about nine months.
The solution is cp /usr/bin/find /bin and, after one succesful boot, delete the find program.
I think that under some strange conditions, some code that uses find is executed. I will look at it tomorrow if possible.
I have upgraded base-layout, so a lot of scripts have changed... |
