 Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2006 8:16 pm Post subject: getting rid of "mtimes differ" boot message |
 |
|
many times, usually after some software updates, i get "mtimes differ" messages at boot time. that's not big deal (it doesn't prevent my system from booting), it's just annoying, and it slows down boot process a little bit.
there are several reasons for that (but honnestly i don't which ones) and there are different solutions to get rid of these messages. sometimes some works, others don't.
basically i combine both usual solutions in the following shell script (i'm no coder, so it's just copy&paste of stuff i found on the forums - credits : see below) :
| Code: | for x in /etc/init.d/*; do [[ "$(file -b $x)" == *runscript*script* ]] && (echo $x; source /etc/conf.d/$(basename $x) &>/dev/null; svclib=/lib/rcscripts; depend(){ :;}; source $x); done;
depscan.sh -u; |
you may save it in a file, i use "fix-mtimes-differ" as a name - how fun - and store in a folder that's part of $PATH, so i can quickly invoke it whenever it's required.
if ever "mtimes differ" messages still occur after running the script, you'll need to re-emerge baselayout :
thanks to ecatmur, SoylentGreen, or any other guy(s) who suggested these solutions first... |

Each time I get the mtimes error message, I've used this command:
| Code: | | touch /etc/init.d/*; /sbin/depscan.sh --update |
It has always worked for me.

from my own experience, a simple depscan.sh -u doesn't always work, so i thought a thread that summarizes the different ways of solving mtimes differ issues would be useful.
this is one of threads my post is based on. |
