Zsl 17:58 0:02 [bacula-sd] <defunct> It seem that bacula-sd remains zombie until tape driver (DDS3-SCSI) ejects its tape, so it could be a sort of i/o freeze.... But I can tell you that always the shutdown procedure take less time that is taken by the tapedriver to rewind and eject the tape..... and often the shutdown procedure successfully remount readonly the root filesystem. My 2 ¢... I read that bacula has been removed from the factory....

The sysinit script also refers to another function that is "status_of_proc" that it isn't defined in opensuse 11.1 /lib/lsb/init-tools: extract of /etc/init.d/spindown: [...] /lib/lsb/init-functions [...] case "$1" in "start") log_daemon_msg "Starting disk spindown daemon" "spindownd" start_daemon -p $PIDFILE $DAEMON -d -s $STATUSPATH -c $CONFPATH -p $PIDFILE log_end_msg $? exit $? ;; "stop") log_daemon_msg "Stopping disk spindown daemon" "spindownd" killproc -p $PIDFILE $DAEMON log_end_msg $? exit $? ;; "status") if status_of_proc -p $PIDFILE $DAEMON spindown; then echo -n else exit 1 fi killproc -p $PIDFILE $DAEMON -PIPE status exit 0 ;; [...] -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
