[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#616316: checkfs.sh started before /dev/md* are created

[Petr Baláš]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-13.1

After udpate to squueze server doesn't start. /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh
report error
that /dev/md* are not accessible and failed. After logging with root password
every partition can be mounted without problems.

Placing "sleep 10;" at the beginning of do_start function solves problem.

My system:
fully upgraded to squeeze
NOT converted to depenedency based boot
self compiled kernel without initrd, kernel assembled RAID arrays
(partiton type 0xFD)
udev version 164-3

server:/etc/init.d# cat /etc/fstab
