 |
|
Seems non-critical:
| Code: |
...
* Configuring kernel parameters... [ ok ]
* Cleaning /var/lock, /var/run...
xargs: environment is too large for exec [ ok ]
...
|
Any ideas what this could be, if I should be worried, how to fix? |

I have had this error for 3 or more months(that I have noticed the error), don't know when exactly the error showed up.
| Code: | #
# Clean up any stale locks.
#
ebegin "Cleaning /var/lock, /var/run"
( find /var/lock -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f -- 1>&2 )
#
# Clean up /var/run and create /var/run/utmp so that we can login.
#
for x in $(find /var/run/ ! -type d ! -name utmp ! -name innd.pid ! -name random-seed)
do
local daemon="${x##*/}"
daemon="${daemon%*.pid}"
# Do not remove pidfiles of already running daemons
if [ -z "`ps --no-heading -C "${daemon}"`" ]
then
if [ -f "${x}" -o -L "${x}" ]
then
rm -f "${x}"
fi
fi
done
|
the above is from the file /etc/init.d/bootmisc, I have had some discussion with people at #gentoo, sometime ago but nobody bothered fixing it or had a fix for it - Since I didn't dig deep may be there is a solution  |
