 Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2006 5:05 pm Post subject: Minor awk error on boot |
 |
|
Hopefully having a more permanent record of this error will net me a better response than on IRC.
I installed 2005.1 a couple weekends ago and have been slowly working on getting it configured on a Toshiba Tecra M4. I followed BobP's Stage 1/3 install guide and after struggling with several different issues, I finally have it mostly useable.
However, I have what appears to be a minor error on bootup whenever root is mounted. As I don't have the laptop in front of me ATM, I'm doing this from memory, but it was something like | Code: | | awk: (FILENAME=/proc/mounts FNR=6) Error writing to standard output (Invalid argument) |
It looks to me like root is being mounted ro, as that's what reiserfs reports on every boot.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to clear this error?

I believe the problem is in checkroot: | Code: | #!/sbin/runscript
# Copyright 1999-2005 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
depend() {
before *
}
start() {
local retval=0
if [[ ! -f /fastboot && -z ${CDBOOT} ]] && ! is_net_fs / ; then
if touch -c / >& /dev/null ; then
ebegin "Remounting root filesystem read-only"
mount -n -o remount,ro /
eend $?
fi
if [[ -f /forcefsck ]] || get_bootparam "forcefsck" ; then
ebegin "Checking root filesystem (full fsck forced)"
fsck -C -a -f /
# /forcefsck isn't deleted because checkfs needs it.
# it'll be deleted in that script.
retval=$?
else
# Obey the fs_passno setting for / (see fstab(5))
# - find the / entry
# - make sure we have 6 fields
# - see if fs_passno is something other than 0
if [[ -n $(awk '($1 ~ /^(\/|UUID|LABEL)/ && $2 == "/" \
&& NF == 6 && $6 != 0) { print }' /etc/fstab) ]]
then
ebegin "Checking root filesystem"
fsck -C -T -a /
retval=$?
else
ebegin "Skipping root filesystem check (fstab's passno == 0)"
retval=0
fi
fi
if [[ ${retval} -eq 0 ]] ; then
eend 0
elif [[ ${retval} -eq 1 ]] ; then
ewend 1 "Filesystem repaired"
elif [[ ${retval} -eq 2 || ${retval} -eq 3 ]] ; then
ewend 1 "Filesystem repaired, but reboot needed!"
echo -ne "\a"; sleep 1; echo -ne "\a"; sleep 1
echo -ne "\a"; sleep 1; echo -ne "\a"; sleep 1
ewarn "Rebooting in 10 seconds ..."
sleep 10
einfo "Rebooting"
/sbin/reboot -f
else
if [[ ${RC_FORCE_AUTO} == "yes" ]] ; then
eend 2 "Rerunning fsck in force mode"
fsck -y -C -T /
else
eend 2 "Filesystem couldn't be fixed :("

fi
einfo "Unmounting filesystems"

einfo "Rebooting"

fi
fi
# Should we mount root rw ?
if mount -vf -o remount / 2> /dev/null | \
awk '{ if ($6 ~ /rw/) exit 0; else exit 1; }'
then
ebegin "Remounting root filesystem read/write"
mount -n -o remount,rw / &> /dev/null
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]] ; then
eend 2 "Root filesystem could not be mounted read/write :("
if [[ ${RC_FORCE_AUTO} != "yes" ]] ; then
/sbin/sulogin ${CONSOLE}
fi
else
eend 0
fi
fi
if [[ ${BOOT} == "yes" ]] ; then
local x=
local y=
#
# Create /etc/mtab
#
# Don't create mtab if /etc is readonly
if ! touch /etc/mtab 2> /dev/null ; then
ewarn "Skipping /etc/mtab initialization (ro root?)"
return 0
fi
# Clear the existing mtab
> /etc/mtab
# Add the entry for / to mtab
mount -f /
# Don't list root more than once
awk '$2 != "/" {print}' /proc/mounts >> /etc/mtab
# Now make sure /etc/mtab have additional info (gid, etc) in there
for x in $(awk '{ print $2 }' /proc/mounts | sort -u) ; do
for y in $(awk '{ print $2 }' /etc/fstab) ; do
if [[ ${x} == ${y} ]] ; then
mount -f -o remount $x
continue
fi
done
done
# Remove stale backups
rm -f /etc/mtab~ /etc/mtab~~
fi
}
# vim:ts=4 |
I think the problem is oriented around this particular block: | Code: | # Should we mount root rw ?
if mount -vf -o remount / 2> /dev/null | \
awk '{ if ($6 ~ /rw/) exit 0; else exit 1; }'
then
ebegin "Remounting root filesystem read/write"
mount -n -o remount,rw / &> /dev/null
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]] ; then
eend 2 "Root filesystem could not be mounted read/write :("
if [[ ${RC_FORCE_AUTO} != "yes" ]] ; then
/sbin/sulogin ${CONSOLE}
fi
else
eend 0
fi
fi |
...since I see the error reported at the same time that root is mounted.
Since I'm not familiar with awk syntax, is there something minorly wrong with this line that needs to be fixed?

|

I had the exact same warning upon boot, although the system seemed to run fine. An interesting side effect was my / filesystem being reported twice by df. One was listed as being /dev/root and the other as rootfs. My understanding is that is normal 'under the hood' but shouldn't be displayed by userland tools such as df. Anyhow the solution for me was as simple as remerging baselayout then rebooting. Both issues were resolved after that. This may or may not help others having the same problem but it's worth giving it a shot.
Update: After I originally posted this I decided to try something. I remembered that recently I'd been playing around with einit and thought maybe that had something to do with it. So I reboot the machine with einit then reboot again using SysV. While booting with SysV I got that message again and had the double / entry in df. Once again remerging baselayout then rebooting solved issue for me. |
